This week my partner found a place to put our recycled goods. So it was mainly about going collecting around the schools from the teachers who support our Recycling Project. Also we started to do some things around the community. Now we are starting to get ready for our presentation and conversing what we are going to say.

This week my partner and I talked to more teachers about our ideas. More people came on board and said that they would support our recycling project, and try to promote it around the school. Next week, we plan to go get more bags for the rest of the teachers, and find a place to go store our collected recyclables.

This week for our 20 Time, my partner and I went around to all the classes in the school to tell them our idea and get their opinion. It wasn't a huge success because at the end of the day, by the time we went to all the classes, over half the teachers were gone. It was still progress because we went to some teaches and they said that they would consider using our bag to recycle goods. Next week, my partner and I plan to pick up our recyclable goods every other day, then have them transported to a recycling facility.

This week my partner and I met up with our mentor. We discussed more about the idea of in school recycling. We have decided now, that is one way we hope to impact the environment in a positive way. Now we plan to express our ideas to all the teachers in the school, by asking to put a recycling bag outside their door for reusable items.

Yesterday, my partner and I visited our mentor. We discussed our ideas, and decided to come up with something that can even be done in school to limit waste. We wanted to give all teachers in the school bags to collect recyclables, and at the end of a time period it would be collected. We just thought it would be an efficient way to cut down a waste and damage to the environment. It is not finalized, but it probably going to the root of our goal.

This week, my partner and I compared ideas. There were a couple good efficient things we came up with we thought that we might want to use. Like using household, items and creating furniture. Reusing water bottles to make lamps. Still brainstorming. Haven't finalized anything yet.

This is now my fifth Blog post for the 20 Time Project. Last week, I was not able to schedule times to  meet up with my partner, but we have have made progress. I went around my neighborhood and found local items I thought could still be recycled. My mom thought it would be a good idea to contact people in the community for ideas, which was helpful. So I contacted people an they gave good ideas of how to recycle household items.  One good idea i thought was to grow plants in bottles or make your own tools. This week, I plan to discuss my ideas with my partner when we get back to school.

This week was a working progress. We are still trying to find ideas for efficient ways to help our community. We are now transitioning into winter break, not really sure what invention or method my partner and I want to use. Some of the goals are to get different perspectives on ideas and how we can come to together to better the economy with our actions.

This is my third draft for this 20 Time project. This week not as much was accomplished as efficiently as we wanted. There are still some doubts about ideas and ways to recycle around the community. This week we were asked the question if this was really something we wanted to do, or we just wanted to because it sounds good and will better help the environment. So there have been some reflections over this pondering question, yes it is something my partner for this project and I would like to do because it would help the environment, but we are not entirely sure if this is what we truly want to do. Hopefully by next week we would have answered this question and come to a conclusion about our current situation on the project.

This is my second blog for my 20 Time Project. It was a slow process, but finally I have found out my idea fro the 20 Time Project. I have decided to work with a partner, Isiah Smith, and we have decided to pick something that will better the community. So we chose recycling. It seemed like a good way to help clean up the community and try to cut down on waste, or harming the environment by loitering. This week we presented our pitch, which explained some brief ideas and decisions we would make to accomplish some of our goals. Right now we are drawing out plans an actions to find out what exactly we want to do. Next, we plan to coordinate times with our mentor to help us with ideas, and what ways we would help our community.

This is my first blog post for 20 time. So far the project is getting off to a slow start. Over the break I slacked off and haven't really found a topic yet to do my 20 time project on through the new year of 2015. However there a re a couple of things I have considered, such as something in athletics, construction, or inventing something. The 20 Time project is supposed to be about creating your own project that you've always wanted to but never had the time, but it is also difficult coming up with ideas when there are so many things to choose from. Hopefully by next week I'll be back on track and will already have a game plan towards my goal I want to accomplish.
