Solar energy - project "sharing"

I'm sure that you all have heard from solar energy before! ðŸŒž

People have always made use of solar energy, for example when they let their laundry dry outdoors. Today, the word "solar energy" mainly brings to mind that people can make electricity from it. However, this requires solar cells that take up a lot of space. The sun's rays are converted directly into electricity. Such solar cells can already be seen on many house and factory roofs. More...

Targets for today 6th of December '19

Goals for today's work

Today we want to discuss the survey with our teacher and publish it afterwards. Then we will collect information about junk food and make a post about it. Lisa will be responsible for the revision of the survey and Noémie for collecting information. Both of us will make a post about each of our "To Do's". More...

Step 1: Imagination - Junk Food in 100 years

In 100 years...

... we may eat less Junk Food. More and more people start to overthink their eating habits. Especially in the european countries people want to support local and healthy food.

... we may print our food with a 3D-printer and wouldn't have any Junk Food restaurants in our towns. The development of the 3D-Print technology, will always get better.

... we may all have our own little garden for our food. So the environment will get protected, because the food, doesn't have to travel from other countries to ours.

The Agricultural crisis

Agriculture is a major part as it provides the much-needed food products and other materials. But our current agricultural trend is doing nothing but harm the environment, reduce the nutritional value of the plant and deteriorate the natural fertility of the soil. The first part of the project will contain the causes for the crisis such as:

  • Excessive use of chemical fertilizers
  • Over irrigation
  • Destroying large areas of forest land to convert into agricultural area
  • Deteriorates the natural fertility of the soil
  • Reduces the nutritional value of the crop
  • Harmful effects of the use of fertilizers

The second part will contain ways in which we can reduce some of these problems, such as:

  • Educating the farmers on a better and rational way of using fertilizers
  • Organic farming

Organic farming would the main part. While researching on organic farming, I found that there were many old farming techniques which are way cheaper to make and also doesn’t harm the environment. Thus, I found that our ancestors have left us many such methods. Some of the methods that were used back then in India are:

  • Jiwamritha
  • Bijamritha
  • Agnisastra

Feel free to check the video out to get more idea about this project. 

I would love to know about any such organic farming techniques that your country may have. And I would also love to hear your opinions on my idea so feel free to comment what you think.

With Regards,

Sivani
