On this last friday we went to Goodwill. It is like a second hand shop. The prices are very, very low. Everything is very cheaper, like a bicycle for only $12. Most part of the clothes are $3 or $4. But there is more about Goodwill that people don't know, mostly because the huge amount of money they earn and the high salaries of the CEOS. The manager was very excited about telling the history and the true meaning of goodwill. In fact Goodwill have the mission to help people. People donate things they will not use anymore and the shop sell for a cheap price and with the money they help people who can't found a job, like people with some disabilities or people without education. They employ a lot of different people giving opportunities to everyone and giving a fine salary. They also give and destination to all the things people don't wanna anymore, which is a good thing for nature and sustainability.
On the excursion we have a challenge and we have to find two items and take pictures with then. My pictures was ridiculous, please don't laugh at me! The first item was a tie and the second a purse.
Diogo, your pictures made me laugh! Very nice choice of tie!
ReplyDeleteI like the connection you made between the practices at Goodwill and sustainability- this ties together many things we have learned and many excursions we have been on. Great job!
