Good morning! To the program & tasks >
Hello together
We would like to share Task 7 with you as we answered some important questions concerning the project:
1 ) Goal of the project, Motivation (Intro - keep it very short!) - Was wollen sie? Wie (Methoden)? Zielpublikum? Wirkung - Wieso braucht es das? =>Vorteile Wirkung bzgl. Mensch & Umwelt
Goal: To show, if it’s worth to share books (concernant energy and other ressources). For example the sharing of our economy books with other apprentices. We would also like to introduce the tree library of Hinwil to you. Book sharing is for everyone, it doesn’t matter how old you are.
2) State of the art - Projektstand bis heute
We’ve finished the research (Befter step 2). We already posted the Befter step 1 and wrote about our aims. As well, we’re almost finished with the energy calculation and we cycled to the forest library in Hinwil. This was an interesting experience.
3) Your next steps - weitere geplante Schritte (gem. Konzept/Projektplan, sollte ersichtlich sein)
Now we would like to calculate how much energy we could save through book sharing. When we’ve finished the calculation, we would like to compare it to an E-book. For step 3 we want to cycle to the tree library of Hinwil to show you the quality of the books. We want to show different ways to share books, so people could treat our environment better.
4) Team work: Does it work? Are you organized reg. work load? Communication?
Our teamwork works very well. We separated the tasks as it is difficult to work through “teams”. We always show our results to each other before we post them. We both have different ideas which is great for a good teamwork to complete each other.
Best regards,
Deniz and Maria
This is a deepening post for our original post about oil.
Switzerland and its oil usage
Even though the Swiss are very eco-friendly and, accorind to a survey in 2018, about half of our population wants to become an oil-free county in the next 20 years. But, in Switzerland about half of the energy is produced by oil. So getting completely rid of it wouldn't be easy. 30% of this half is made up of the usage of petroleum fuels like heating oil, and the other 70% are regular fuels like petrol or diesel.
Switzerland imports about 80% of the oil from foreign countries, we are extremely dependent on our suppliers. In 2018 we imported approximitely three tons of oil. The three main suppliers are Nigeria, Lybia and Kazakhstan. More...
Hello everyone
Finally, Lisa and I could finalize our Website. Attached you can find a screen video of our website 'Curiosity'. We're curious about what you think about our website. :)
We hope you enjoy!

Hello everyone
Recently we had a little trouble with our website because our computer crashed and all data was lost. So we had to rebuild our website and create a new database. But now we're far with the page. Below you can find a screen-video of our website.
We hope you like it! If you have any suggestions for improvement, please feel free to leave a comment.

That's an interesting idea, indeed. Clean water is one of the most important basic needs for the future and a basic right.
In addition to water protection, simple and self-sufficient solutions are needed for drinking water treatment based on renewable energies.

Current Situation in Switzerland:
The current situatio in Switzerland regarding corona virus also affects the timber market. Loss of sales markets, bottlenecks in transport and storage capacities and uncertain development of the construction industry represents challenges for the industry and lower demand. In Italy and France, the processing companies have been partially or completely shut down. It must be expected that a large part of the amount of wood must now be sold and processed domestically. It must be assumed that these bottlenecks will increase because of construction site closures, illness-caused failures of chauffeurs or failures of trucks and machines that may not be repaired in the near future.

Note: The randomly indicated feedback plan is the minimum task - if you have additional ideas/feedback/double check calculations for other teams it will be appreciated by getting extra points!

Hello everyone
We gave Selina and Julia a Feedback about their project idea of "Accessoires sharing". More...
Helo everyone
The calculation of how much energy we can save if we would increasingly share video games is as follows: If we assume that 400,000 people in Switzerland use a PS4 or similar and that the download for one gigabyte takes 0.06 kilowatt hours , everyone has an average of 300 GB on their Playstation, the download comes with a power consumption of around 7,000,000 kWh. This does not even include other things as the server's power consumption for example. We believe that sharing video games could save at least a third. That means we would save about 2’300’00 kWh. By the way: Around 60,000,000 kWh of electricity is consumed in Switzerland each year for video games. And that if you only use the PS4 on average for one hour a day.
Kind regards,
Deia and Rezon
