We have to save our planet from ourselves! Much is said about it, without any effect. But how did 14 billion CO2 ever get into our atmosphere?More...
Genetically modified organisms are scary. Especially when they appear in food. Many consumers are worried about their health. But does not genetic engineering also have its good side? For example, when it comes to eliminating diseases from plants?

Food waste is thrown-away food, because it no longer looked good or because it couldn't no longer be sold.
In the "Duden" the word "waste" is described like this: "an act or instance of using or expending something carelessly, extravagantly, or to no purpose."
Nowadays we have to rethink our eating habits and the way we deal with our food. It shouldn't be careless.
Good examples:
"Too good to go"-Project
"Äss-Bar"-Project, Zürich
"Falling Fruit"-Project
"Grassrooted"-Project, Zürich

There are more than 500 energy drink products on the market, and their increased popularity is matched by a significant rise in energy drink-associated emergency department visits and deaths.
“The energy drink industry claims that their products are safe because they have no more caffeine than a premium coffee house coffee,” said Dr. Jennifer L. Harris from University of Connecticut’s Rudd Center.

Our task was to create a mind-map with important things for the collaboration project. Furthermore we brainstormed some topic ideas for the project:
- What effect has meat consumation on the CO2 emission?
- Are there ecological plastic re-placers for our foods?
- How much of our food is imported?
- How can you reduce the energy use in the kitchen?
We think those would be very interesting project themes for a good website article.
