We're putting everything together (research and own texts) to one text. Now we'er almost ready to publish. Our goal for tomorrow is to be ready to publish the project or even to publish it. But we'll see tomorrow. Another goal for tomorrow is to find a cover picture for the post.
We're very happy to see how our post is getting created step by step and how far we are now. Now we're getting closer to the end of our project.
Best regards,

Hello everybody
Our project is drawing to a close. In order to that we would like to do a reflection and share our thoughts with you.
We've chosen the topic, because we both think it's a very interesting way to share. We're both interested in our environment. That's why we also tried to show another way to share books (tree library) instead of just giving it to a friend or family member.
We researched a lot (general facts and numbers for example) but we were able to share our knowledge about the project as well.
Our teamwork was okay. We often split up the work, especially because we've had homeschooling the last few weeks. That's why we weren't able to meet. But if we had questions, we could ask one another. That's why we talked a lot through teams to create the project. We're at the same english level, that's why we were able to trust each other in regard to grammar mistakes. We sometimes had different opinions, but in the end we always found a solution, which is very important.
We're very happy with the project we created and it was a great experience :)
Best regards,
Deniz and Maria
Hello everyone,
It’s clear for all of us that book sharing is a great way to save wood, which is good for our environment. In our opinion, we all should do something for our environment. Sometimes it’s difficult, but to make it easier for you we wanted to share an option to share books with you:
There is a tree library inside a tree in a forest in Hinwil. People can cycle or walk to the place and take some books out of it or bring their own books for free. This is a great way to share books and it’s very supportive for our environment too.
Our idea:
You could take a book from this library and write a few word on the first page of it. Maybe some requests or greetings. It would also be an option to write down the phone number or E-Mail address to exchange the opinion of the book. Everyone who read the book should write a few words after reading it. It would be very interesting so see how many people read the same book and you could also talk about the quality of it. We definitely will try it out! You could give it a try too. J
So if you’re interested in visiting the tree library, let’s take a look! There are a lot of advantages of book sharing.
Best regards,
Deniz and Maria

As you learned through our last mail, it is important for our environment that we immediately start saving or conserving our resources.
We want to give you a few ideas on how to share petroleum:
1. Petrol: By setting up car communities we can reduce fuel consumption and reduce the emission of pollution.
2. Heating oil: We can avoid the consumption of heating oil by switching to solar energy.
3. Clothes: Yes, there is petroleum in our clothes too! We could exchange our clothes with our brothers and sisters or at clothing exchanges with other people and therefore do not have to buy new clothes.
4. Tupperware: Tupperware can be exchanged at Tupperware parties with other people or, for example, our neighbours.
5. Cosmetic products: Shampoos, creams or body lotion could be shared within the family. If you use products with a neutral smell, you can also share these products with your brother and sister without any problems. As an example one shampoo is used instead of several within the family.
Our goal is reduce the consumption of petroleum and therefore keep the petroleum longer alive, by doing all these simple things, we can achieve this goal.

Hello everbody,
we asked ourselves whether a book or an iPad (eBook) is actually more environmentally friendly. We have created a small chart to compare this.
An iPad needs about 15 KG of minerals to produce while a book needs 0.3 KG. A book also needs a large amount of sand and gravel and 9 litres of water. For the battery and circuit board of the iPad 300 litres of water are needed. As far as energy is concerned, the iPad needs more, namely 100 kilowatt hours and the book only 2 kilowatt hours. Also the CO2 emission of the iPad is higher (33 KG). With the book the emission is 100 times smaller!
If transport and the entire period of use of the book is involved, the iPad can show its advantages. A book can be read for 2-3 weeks and an iPad can be owned for longer. If you order a book from Amazon, it causes environmental pollution that is about half as big as the pollution that was used to produce the book. Emissions for buying a book in the online shop are close to zero. If you take into account the listed raw materials, i.e. water, energy and minerals, an iPad is worthwhile from 40 to 50 books read. If you take an average of one book read per month, it takes a whole 4 years until the iPad is ecologically profitable (the older the iPad is, the longer the time span).
We hope we can find more interesting information.
This is the source we used.
Do you prefer a book or an iPad to read?
Thanks and best regards,
Maria & Deniz
Introduction to business models
When we talk about a business model, we mean ”the rationale of how an organisation creates, delivers, and captures value from economical, social or other point of view”. The process of business model construction is part of business strategy. Therefore, designing the right business model for one's company is important. It is part of the business development and business strategy process and involves design methods. If the company considers that the target is to reduce consumption of critical raw materials, they may need to adapt their business model towards innovation for sustainability.
A sustainable business model is a business model that brings positive impacts to society while staying within the environmental limits of the planet.
It may be necessary to answer questions concerning: key partners, key activities, key resources, value propositions, customer relationships, channels, customer segments, cost structure, and revenue streams. More...
