?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">miriam&#8217;s was actually difficult to cover because of the variety of planet-progressive resources that they offer. off the top of my head, miriam&#8217;s kitchen offers programs that help the homeless community with housing, clothing, food, safe prayer spaces, and mental illness. i focused on the non-profit as a soup kitchen in an effort to keep the work short. homelessness and lack of food resources are complicated and widespread problems in the united states. we often oversimplify these issues because the sheer amount of obstacles to consider is daunting, however the people at miriam&#8217;s have shown me that fighting for a cause means challenging every single face of that issue. for example, miriam&#8217;s kitchen not only provides food, but the chefs and volunteers seek to provide restaurant quality dishes that are healthy to combat the malnutrition that plagues the homeless community. on top of that, they help to reduce food waste in dc as their ingredients are donated scraps from local restaurants. this mentality of doing more than the bare minimum is extremely prominent at miriam&#8217;s kitchen, and i think that many non-profits and people could learn from that.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>finalist:&nbsp;<\/strong>nathaniel wiener,&nbsp;<em>middlebury college<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>story:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/idea\/pedestrian-streets-the-scalability-of-str%c3%b8get\">pedestrian streets: the scalability of str\u00f8get<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>how did you hear about this idea?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">i am currently studying abroad in copenhagen, denmark. my first week of walking to class, i began walking on a pedestrian street lined with shops called str\u00f8get, located between my apartment and my classes. the pedestrian street, specifically its simplicity and user-friendliness, immediately gave me the idea to make a film about it and submit the film to pf&#8217;s storyfest. given my status as a student abroad, i created the video using just my iphone and an external mic, which, while lacking any frills whatsoever, allowed me to capture the essence of my idea.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>how does the innovation in your piece 2022年卡塔尔世界杯官网
