Sharing clothes

Hello everybody

We had the idea of clothes-sharing. That means we share clothes so we have a bigger variety of different styles. We can share hoodies, trowsers, shoes, caps and much more. 

With this experiment we want to find out more about different clothes and about the convenience of clothes-sharing. In a long term it should prevent people from buying to much from the stores and online-stores. Instead we want people to get to share their clothes.

There will of course be problems with sharing the clothes. First of all not everbody has the same height, which is probably the biggest difficulty. A small person can't fit the clothes of a taller person and vice-versa. As well as this it could be also a problem because not everybody has the same style. On the other hand it will be very interesting to wear different styles of different person.

Best regards

Project idea and imagination

Hello everyone,

Everyone who has been to school knows the feeling when a summary of a 20-page chapter has to be made. We know almost nobody who has done this with pleasure or who likes to do it. How would the learning behaviour and efficiency of the students change if all these summaries already existed. And not some incomprehensible summary, but one that even a person from a totally different subject area could understand. The tip of the iceberg would be if these summaries could be available to everyone, everywhere and always. We think that this could be a pleasant and easy way to prepare for exams or even for life. Another point that would make us very happy is if the digital use of these summaries could even save paper and therefore trees, water and a lot of energy. What do you think about this? Wouldn't it be nice?

So we would like to create a website, where students, who make the same apprenticeship as us, can download our summaries for free. In the first step, the website wouldn't be accessible to the public. The reason for this is, that we want to first check all the rights. 

We're looking forward to hearing, what you think about our project concept. Let us know your opinion. 

So stay tuned!

New Project: Energy sharing

Hello Together

Rahel and I want to introduce you to our new Project and our planing. We want to calculate how many water supply companies, wind generators and photovoltaic cells you Need to cut down to half of the amount of Mineral oil we use now.

We could imagine that we'll share our renewable ernergy in future with the accommodation, the family or the neighbours, in order to save energy and costs.
We could also imagine that for example the photovoltaic cells, through the technical Progress, could absorb more energy from the sun and also save it like a Memory Card.

The next 2 lessons we will spend the time with some research. After that we will start with calculations. 

Best regards,

Rahel and Shana   

Worldwide transportation and their Co2 emission

We focused on Transportation all over the world including planes, cars and lorrys. Transportation, not only goods but also people transportation, causes 30 % of the whole CO2-emission. We made some research about what could be a usable and simple solution to reduce the amount of the worldwide emission. Have you ever asked yourself what causes the most CO2-emission?

Urban mining - the recipe to eco-friendly recycling

Urban mining

Eco-friendlier with urban mining (Audio)

Urban mining is a revolutionary way of environmental recycling. In urban mining a city is seen as a place to regain raw materials. It is different from the recycling process we usually know (such as for glass or PET), because it is the recycling of different valuable substances from a mix of materials. It involves methods which are alike to those used by the extraction of resources from rocks, which is why it’s called “mining”. When a house is abandoned, both objects like a wooden door and raw materials like iron can be saved from the ruin. More...
