Topics Discussed:

1. Redefining proposal
- changing of "recyclable" to " biodegradable " materials to avoid confusion.
- possibility of adding more value to our project by complimenting paper bags with posters aiming to educate public on green issues
--> Ganesh: Incharge of tweaking proposal, contacting Joe from SEC regarding proposal. Hear opinions/comments from Joe, update everyone and colloborate with other teams (i.e: survey, quotation etc).

Only after SEC replies can we send out proposal to the clinic and go to the clinic and hand out surveys. yes?

2. Survey
- Need for survey to find out
a. approx. how many plastic bags are given by clinics (just ask clinic)
b. how "freely" do clinics give out plastic bags
c. what patients normally do with plastic bags/whether the change to paper bags will affect them much
- Survey results might support our proposal (eg: Clients indicate that they do not mind a change to paper bags because maybe it doesn't affect them much)
--> Marjorie and Margaret

3. Carrying out survey
- Ways of carring out survey
a. Giving surveys to pharmicists and getting he/she to give it to patients and handing it back to us at the end of the day
b. Having 1-2 people going to the clinic and personally handing surveys to patients
--> ???

4. Seeking manufacturers and getting quotation
- To find out and compare cost of manufacturing paper vs plastic bags.
- Might need to call up Isetan/Bodyshop/Burger King to ask who their suppliers are. Can also seek Joe for advice.
--> Zong He and Cheryl
