Back to the Streets.

When they handed over the campaign on banning plastic bags to me, I was feeling a little overwhelmed because of simply how big this thing was. I don't know if there was much preparation they could give to me, other than to have me research. But slowly, I'm taking Cambridge in bites.

I like maps. So I try to use them. Right of the bat, I was checking Google Maps. I decided that I would take Massachusetts Ave first. I spent one day reaching all the businesses between tube stations. So the first day, I did Harvard Square alone. The second, I walked from Harvard Square down to Central. The third day, I walked from Central to MIT, at Kendall. I moved farther north on the fourth day, today, covering the area from Porter to Harvard. So far, I've talked to a lot of businesses, but have only gotten a total of 12 businesses that agreed to support a plastic bag ban in Cambridge. 

Tomorrow, I'm going to do a few call backs and try to figure out where my next plan of action will unfold.
