The Horse 2019/20

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.

Hello everyone

We want to share the current status of our sharing-project with you. Today we finished the logo and started setting up our website. Here are some screenshots from our Website for you: More...

Hello Everyone

Last week, we forgot to show you our results of our gamesharing tasks. We want to apologise for that

We thought of a way of how people can share games efficiently. We found out, that there are two options (if you have more, feel free to inspire us in the comments!)

Option 1 : Sharing function on the PS4. The PS4 is the most popular console in this world and luckily, it has some sort of sharing functions, where two players can share all of their games together. It works like that. Every player has an own account and own console. Now, the two player need to log in to the other players console and mark their PS4 as their own PS4.  Like that, the original owner, can download all the games the other player bought. It is some sort of tricking around the system. The problem with this method is, that you can only share downloaded games and not the ones bought on a cd. But that's why we thought of a different method.

Option 2 : Share the Gaming CD's. First of all we thought of sharing the whole console. But not all of us live together with their gaming partner and that's why this method would have taken away a lot of fun. In addition to that, the gamers wouldn't be able to play at the same time.

So, we thought about of buying and sharing games together. This method would save a massive amount of CD's and a lot of energy would be spared. The only disadvantage would be, that the gamers cannot play the same games at the same time. But if they're anyway only storygame-players, this wouldn't cause any problems.

Either way, both methods would save a lot of energy, as downloading games and burning CD's uses a huge amount of energy.

So what did we do? We tried out the sharing function on the PS4 and started to play together. To be honest, we where very impressed and overwhelmed. We gave each other our log-in informations and started to play games TOGETHER, while only one of us bought the games. It didn't have any disadvantages, as we both only buy games online and not per CD. The only thing you need here is trust, because you give away each other your informations.

Then we asked some friends of ours, if they use this function too. And, impressingly, they don't. A lot of us don't even know about this function. So we started to inspire our friends to use this function while saving money, energy and downloads.

Today, we want to send out a survey to all the gamers we know. Stay tuned!

Best regards,

Rezon and Deia

Our Goal for today is:

• We want to collect ideas for our website: What do we want to show? What possibilitys do we want for the users? What's the name of the Website? etc. More...

Do you have a piece of clothing that you haven't worn for ages but you can't get rid of it? Wouldn't it be nice to make other people happy with it and help to reduce todays useless consumption? Look no further! Read the following article for more information.

Our idea

We want to revolutionize the process of clothes sharing. We thought that instead of giving your clothes to a secondhand store, you could put them online on a special website. On this website people can post their clothes and others can borrow them for a special occasion. So for example if you want a dress for a party, but you don't have the means to buy a new one, maybe on the website you spot a dress you really like. The website would have filters where you can filter the color, size, material, brand and lenghts of the clothes. After the event you can easily return the clothes to the owner. This way the clothes can be shared multiple times, won't rot in the closet and can bring joy to new people. More...

Hello everyone :)

Attached you can find our final concept regarding our 'sharing-project'. We're curious if we can finally start our project.

Hello Everyone

Deia and me wanted to introduce you our idea of game sharing. There are a lot of gamers in this world and a lot of energy have to be used to build the game stations, controllers or to handle the servers. Not to forget, a lot of electricity has to be used to game. So, if all the gamers decide to start sharing their game supplements and just play at other times, a lot of energy could be saved and the companies don‘t need to build so much stations.

We hope our idea has woken up your interest.

Rezon and Deia

Our planet has not enough ressources to use them forever. We need to share now ! Everyone of us should think for himself, how to share things in his privacy to protect our environment and the planet. We made some discussions and deep thoughts and we came up with the idea to share buildings.

The humanity has built a lot of building in the century. Is it really necessary to build so much more of them or can’t we just share those who are already built? An important reason is the space. We could use it better for plant trees for example.

Of course is our population growing, but we need to think about our nature, because if we act like now in the future, it will disappear. We can't raise up our children like our parents did with us. Stop wasting to much resources, SHARE!

Goal: The Goal is to share the clothes with each other to reduce the embodied energy and the resources needed to produce new clothes. 

Reason: Nowadays people buy or order too many clothes. This is bad for our environment as we use many resources and emit a lot of Co2 during transportation. With our idea we want to reduce this sort of consumption.

Saved resources: Let us imagine a cotton shirt that weighs around 200g. To get the cotton for this one shirt, about half a kilo of raw cotton is needed. To grow this amount of cotton, an average of about 7m² of land is needed. Seven square meters of land are therefore needed to produce the raw material for a normal cotton shirt alone. To get to the finished product, however, several steps are still missing, such as sewing the fabrics and transport from the country of production to the shops. All these steps consume different amounts of energy and so, in total, almost 11 kilograms of CO2 are emitted in the life of a cotton shirt. With our idea you could save all the energy and resources!

Our idea: Our idea is to use an application developed by us to give the clothes of the population to other people for free or for little money. You are probably wondering how this works? You register in the app and then you can chat with others about costs and how or where the clothes are handed out.

The whole project has many advantages. Some of them can sell their old clothes for free or even for a small profit and poorer people can also get wearable clothes. But the most important thing is that our environment is protected.

Now it's your turn. The development of the app is currently in the final phase. You can help us by promoting the app for example via social media etc. Let's save our environment for a better future for all of us.

Our idea is to try and share certain household utilities (Examples: power drills, ladders, washing machines, ...).

Noémie and I want to do a project about the topic Clothes-Sharing. It is a very current Topic, because a lot of people organize a sharing-event. The Problem of the textile Industry is the mass production and always changing offering. More...
