Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get a compost container. Cover your container and set it in a sunny spot. Set open-bottomed containers on soil. Layer your bin with green and brown materials. Turn your compost every two to four weeks. Water your compost bin if necessary. Wait 1 year for your food to compost. Add your compost to soil.

Answer: To properly recycle food waste, you’ll need to purchase or create a compost container. You can construct homemade containers using fence posts and either wire mesh siding or lattice. The container should be square or round and have an open bottom. Professional compost containers come in two forms:  Compost bins, large containers that look similar to trash cans. These are small and cheap, but open at the bottom, making it difficult to turn compost. Compost tumblers, rotating cylinders that, though expensive, are easy to turn and incredibly effective. To help it compost successfully, it’s important to keep food waste at an internal temperature of at least 135 °F (57 °C). To achieve this, place your compost container in an area where it can experience direct sunlight. If it does not have a built-in cover, place a slab of wood or tarp on top to pack in heat. If your compost container has an open base, set it on a patch of soil. This allows your waste to drain properly and gives insects and microbes a chance to break down the materials. If possible, do not put your bin on paving or decking. To prevent vermin from getting into your compost, dig a 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep hole beneath your container and cover it with wire mesh. When filling your compost container, try to make even layers of green, quick rotting foods and brown, slow rotting foods. When the container is full, each type of material should make up about 50% of the total compost mixture. Examples of proper materials include:  Green items like fruit peels and pulp, vegetable peels and pulp, tea leaves and bags, coffee grounds, and carrot tops. Brown items like egg boxes and shells, nuts, tomato plants, corn starch liners, used kitchen paper, and cardboard. Do not compost bones, meat, fish, bread, dairy products, drink cartons, olive oil, plastic bags, or plastic bottles. Food waste needs oxygen to decompose. To make sure all your waste gets an equal amount of air exposure, use a pitchfork to turn over your compost every few weeks. If using a tumbler, you can simply rotate the container itself with the attached crank. If you need to add more food waste, mix it in while turning the compost. Throughout the composting process, check to make sure your pile is decomposing properly. Your food waste should be consistently damp, not dry or soaking wet. Use a hose to water dry compost, and add brown materials to soaking wet compost. Food waste takes a long time to decompose. In general, expect the composting process to take between 9 months and 1 year. You compost is ready to use when the bottom is a dark, rich color. You can use compost to add nutrients to soil, making your yard, garden, and plants healthier. To enhance plants already in the ground, try spreading about 5 to 10 inches (13 to 25 cm) of compost over garden beds and around trees. To help new plants grow, combine your compost and soil to create a rich mix. The compost should comprise about ⅓ of the mix. In most cases, homemade compost will have rough spots where the materials did not break down completely. Use these areas as mulch for flowerbeds and shrubs.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Begin your report with a broad description of the industry. Provide a market analysis. Describe customers’ outlook and demographic info. Use the analysis to prescribe a strategy for the near future. Edit the report.

Answer: Open with a paragraph about the industry’s history.  Write one or two paragraphs about the size, products, and geographic scope of the industry, including both manufacturing centers and consumer centers.  Next, introduce your own company’s position within the larger industry context, and foreground how industry trends make the implementation of your business proposal desirable. Determine what lifecycle stage the industry is in.  Is it: Emerging? (very new industry growing at less than 5% per year) Growing? (a state of steady growth a bit over 5% per year) Shaking out? (a state in which companies are merging or consolidating, and/or other companies are failing) Maturing? (growth is slowing to less than 5% per year) Declining? (a state in which there has been no growth for a prolonged period) Indicate expected growth in the industry, trends in products and technology, and factors influencing competition.  Describe the competitive landscape in a general way.  The rest of the business plan will elaborate on the state of the competition. Healthy industries are high-growth and generally profitable, with a stable customer base and few barriers to entry.  Industries that should be avoided are those that are declining, generally unprofitable, highly competitive and regulated, or difficult to enter. The analysis should describe who the major customer groups are and the unique properties of each.  What is the age of your target customer?  What is their race and ethnicity?  Their needs and wants?  Put yourself in the customer’s place.  Think about what they see and experience when they first hear about or encounter your product or service.  Consider how they think about their choices. In addition to considering your current customer base, think about how you can expand your product or service to attract new customers or pull customers away from your competitors. Lay the strategy out in greater detail in the rest of your business proposal.  Include a detailed timeline and specific goals, like revenues and market share, that you hope to attain.  Address marketing strategies, product development ideas, and workforce issues which could position your company for growth within the industry. You could close with a call to action.  A statement like “Given the current state of the market, it is advisable to implement the following business proposal” followed by a rough outline of your proposal can function as a smooth transition into the rest of the plan. Pare the report down to an appropriate and manageable size.  An industry analysis report typically runs two to three pages.  Tweak the length of your report based on how it will be presented.  If it is part of a business plan, it is better to keep the analysis short and to the point.  If your report will be presented independently, you have more freedom to devote lots of space to raw data and detailed descriptions.
