Today's Agenda:

Minute 1: "The New Coffee Machine is a Waste of Resources"
This is where we'll discuss the financial and environmental impact of the new coffee machine.
Some possible arguments:
- Is it really necessary to spend $1,000 on a coffee machine, or could we just get the same functionality for cheaper?
- Does the environmental impact of the machine's production and disposal outweigh the benefits of having a new coffee machine?
Some possible solutions:
- Maybe we could get a used coffee machine and refurbish it?
- We could just stick with the old one, it's not that bad...

Minute 2: "Cost-benefit Analysis"
A detailed breakdown of the cost and benefits of the new coffee machine.
Some possible arguments:
- The new machine has a higher upfront cost, but will save us money in the long run by reducing waste and increasing productivity?
- Or will it just be a money pit that we'll have to constantly repair and replace?
Some possible solutions:
- We could get a grant or sponsor to cover some of the costs?
- We could just get a cheaper alternative that still meets our needs?
