Reminder for required information

[This reminder message was on the 22nd April since there was no response to the first on sent on the 7th April 2010]

Hi guys!
Sorry to disturb your pleasant day! I am coming back for some assistance since no one has responded to my previous email on the subject matter.

I understand that you have no time for this as it is in the way of your work, but as a courtesy, I am seeking assistance and contributions to verify my project. I understand also that the speed of the internet system is very slow so it is time-consuming so you can not possibly access my blog site.

Anyway, to make it simple, please respond to the questions I am posing here:

1. Is household garbage collection a problem in your area (place of residence)?
2. Is recycling a better option to reduce the amount of household waste?
3. Is it possible for a community involvement in waste recycling within your area?
4. Can each suburb be able to contain its own garbage disposal issues?
5. What is the better option to reducing household waste disposal?

If you can access my blog site, you can be able to understand the project further. Check http://ghughie.blogspot.com - for further details.

If a number of you respond before Monday 26th by 12pm, to the questions posed, it would be highly appreciated and of great help to my project - due 2pm.

Respond via this email address.

Cheers!!

Geo.

Requesting Information

(The message below was emailed to workmates and colleagues in Port Moresby on the 22nd April 2010)

Hope you all had an enjoyable Easter last weekend!! and back hard at home....

This email message may have reached you all confused and surprised as the topic seems rather unfamiliar to your normal messages. For that, I am going to explain the reason why and what may be required of you.

As part of an assessment in one of the courses I am taking (SWSP7123 - Community Planning, Engagement & Governance), we have been required to set up a blog site where we can communicate an action plan by way of comments and contributions that pertain to the subject topic and theme of discussion. I was not sure of what would be the best topic for discussion and of relevance for engaging communities, however to get it off as it is due on Friday 23rd April - just over two weeks - I chose the topic of Garbage recycling (household) and general garbage disposal methods in Port Moresby communities. The idea is to engage people/communities within various suburbs of the city to look at the option of household garbage recycling and alternate disposal methods.

We are to be assessed by the interaction within the blog site of comments, ideas, work plans and contributions on the topic (as stated). As it requires a larger part of my assessment (55%), I humbly appeal to you all to give some thought and assistance.

The blog site is: http://ghughie.blogspot.com/ - (type the address in the navigation bar at the top and it should pop up - depending on the speed of the PC)

I am mindful that the internet services are rather slow and with older version of Windows, and your time, however as a work colleague and friend, I ask with due respect and for your support.
