As Pets in a JAR has grown and expanded, the board of directors has decided it would be beneficial to begin an initiative in the company stores that contributes to the sustainability of the pet supply industry.Your task is to come up with "something" JAR could do in its stores, warehouses, or pet food-manufacturing segment that enhances sustainability of one or more pet products or reduces waste/pollution potential.The idea should be financially viable (i.e. the idea will reduce JAR's earnings if possible and if so, only to a small extent, ideally the idea should be zero profit or loss), and logistically viable (i.e. the

5 points each for

Creativity and Goal Achievability - does it appear you have thought about different possibilities and come up with a unique idea that can reasonability meet JAR's goal of contributing to sustainability in the pet supply retail industry.

Financial Viability - Is the idea either minimal cost or will it generate adequate revenue to cover its costs?

Logistic Viability- Can the idea be implemented given JAR's existing operating capabilities and facilities? For example, JAR does not have the facilities or capability of producing drugs for veterinary practices.They have store space with storage in the back and a warehouse/factory as part of the food manufacturing division.A portion of these spaces could reasonably be used to carry out certain ideas.

For example, my idea was that JAR start purchasing used doghouses for a small store credit and use part of the warehouse to refurbish them and sell them in their stores for a reduced price.This would reduce the waste going to landfills, restore a product for reuse, and provide reduced price dog housing that could increase the likelihood that some dogs may get houses who otherwise may not.The revenue from the sale of the refurbished houses should cover the costs of store credits and refurbishments.Additionally, doghouses not sold could be donated to local animal shelters or animal control.

Your idea should be no more than a page.If you can explain it well in 3-4 sentences, that is fine but be clear.

Please answer all of the questions thank you
