Ways to counteract food waste

This is our research about how to counteract food waste or how to use food that would normally be thrown away. This is our initial research, so it would be nice if you could leave a comment to tell us what you think about it and what we could improve. You can also sent other solutions you've found so we can add them to our research. We hope we can work together and help each other out! More...

Food waste at home and what to do about it!

Food waste at home and what to do about it!

 

What can we do at home to prevent food waste as good as possible?

  • Make a week menu in which you measure how much food you actually need and keep one day free for if there’s any left at the end of the week. So, you can eat the leftovers then. (Later we will discuss different recipes with leftovers)
  • Keep animals that eat the leftovers we can’t really eat
  • Chickens eat nearly everything
  • Some parts of vegetables you can also feed your rabbit, Guinee pig, hamster, …
  • Keep a compost waste bin More...

Imagination - What does the world look like in 100 years?

Imagine the world in 100 years...

Is the earth really getting warmer?

Are we going to feed on artificial food?

Will there still be such large forest areas?

We imagine the world will getting a few degrees warmer. There will be no more glaciers either. Due to the rising water level, some islands, for example the Maldives, will no longer exist. Also we think that the forest areas will be populated by houses.

We can think of many more thoughts on this topic and there is much more to mention. We want to explore what a teenager, an adult, a child, an economics teacher and a climate physicist think about with interviews. 

If you are interested, sign up for a collaboration.

 

Environmentally friendly greetings,

Concept alcoholic beverages

Simon and Michel

Initial question: How do alcoholic beverages affect the environment (https://2020.the-horse.education/post/project-idea-how-do-alcoholic-beverages-affect-the-environment)

What plants can be used and what does it take to harvest them?

How long is the process to get the beverage?

Aims: There is a local brewery where we would like to go and make an interview. Also there are some distilleries where we would like to go.

We would like our project partners to do the same and make some interviews.

Diverse: We will take some photos in the brewery and integrate them into our interview.

 

Conception Mineral Oil

Hello together

Soon we want to start our project about mineral oil. Below you can find ou coception and planing.

First of all we want to calculate how much mineral oil is used in one specific product. So the Energy consumption, the packaging, the Transport and all other influences.
It would be really interesting to find out if there are differences of the mineral oil consumption for the same product in different countries.

If you are interestet in our project idea and like to join us, pleas leave a comment and let us know!

We look forward to an interesting collaboration.

Best regards

We will interview owners of supermarkets about foodwaste in their shops. We will search solutions how we can reduce food waste in supermarkets and as well at home. We will research why exactly so much food get wasted. Is it because the best before date or is it because we have too much food?
