Water consumption

1. November 2019 Dharany-Theivendran M17a Zurich, Project ideas (2)

Hello everyone

Lars and I from Switzerland have an other idea for a collaboration project. We have no definitive idea now, but maybe we can work out one with your help and your additional ideas. At the moment, our imagination is to compare the water consumption from Switzerland with your country. Maybe you have an idea how we can connect this topic with the main topic "food and climate". We thought about the question if you have in your country enough drinking water for every inhabitant like Switzerland has. We think this topic could interest a lot of people all over the world.


We are looking forward to your comments and a nice collaboration.

Kind regards
Lars and Dharany

collaboration

I find the cooperation of the participants of my group very difficult, that the time zones have a very big influence on the cooperation.
You can not make an appointment for a meeting anywhere in the world because it's time for everyone at a different time.
First thoughts When we think of ships, we think of the weird size of these barges.
How many containers can you transport at one go?
How long and how heavy are they? How many nodes per hour does it drive?
Where did they come from?

We want you!

With our project we’d like to show how can we reduce plastics. In our eyes, it should be possible to use sustainable packaging methods in our industry nowadays instead of plastics which is very harmful to our whole environment.

Here you'll find our interview with mother nature:

Are you interested in this topic and do you think we can change something?

Let us know and leave a comment!

We are looking forward to our collaboration.

Best regards

Project Sustainable packaging

30. October 2019 Sharon-Sommer TZ19 Zurich, Project planning (3)

In the first befter exercise we had the task to reflect our own about the chosen topic. We thought about what would be if we would use sustainable packaging methods.

If we think about a possibility of renewable and sustainable packaging method, there is a lot what comes up in our mind. First of all the waste problem. We throw away so much packaging which we don’t need because the humans, the stores and the industry use it without any sense. There are bananas which are packaged in plastic foil, for what? The second thing is the whole industry which produces plastic packaging. We have the possibility to change something in our world but don’t use this chance. There are so many intelligent people with great ideas but that is something our industry isn’t interested in because there is no chance to make much money with. Some companies realised that there is a gap in the market and took their chance to create another packaging system with sustainable and biodegradable foil.
