Response to third presentation

The one major concern that was addressed to us about our most recent presentation last Thursday was the idea of outsourcing our products from China. The class made arguments that if we are going for the "environmental" mindset, that doing business in China, a country highly polluted and really far away from the US will completely negate our environmentalist ideals. With that in mind, we will have to not produce in China, however there is still cheap labor close to the United States (Mexico and other latin American countries) that will lower our carbon footprint tremendously.

Not the most elaborate of posts... but then again, break starts tomorrow =)... FYI, ran your pitch by Bela Musits and he said concerning your presentation innovations spilling bottles, pulling in friends, etc... they all help to "tell a story" and that is half the battle in communicating and selling your idea... kudos on that front!
