You're Hired!

An environmentalist group known as Greener Ways has decided to undertake the large task of safely cleaning up oil spills. It’s estimated that millions of gallons of oil enter the oceans each year from ship motors, natural leaking, and oil spills. The oil waste then reaches the coastal shoreline and contaminates beach vegetation, wildlife, and swimming environments. Oil Spills do not only affect oceans, the Fargo Forum reported recently that in the past 2 years there have been nearly 300 oil spills in North Dakota. Almost all of those spills were not reported to the public.

 

Greener Ways has developed a break-through product that is predicted to clean oil spills easily and effectively. They have developed a product known as Magic Sand that they would like to use to clean up such incidences.

 

Your company is a state of the art company that is very good at cutting edge technology. Your company has been chosen to be one of the finalists in our search for a company that will be able to use the Magic Sand to clean up an oil spill in both the ocean and in North Dakota. The boardroom will be looking for a company that meets the objectives listed above, so make sure that your presentation and your company webpage are ready on time.
