What is a green wall?
A green wall is a wall covered with greenery. It can be indoor or outdoor. And most of the green walls have an integrated water delivery system.
It depends if the green wall is indoor or outdoor. The plants have to be matching to the surrounding location.
The difference between the green walls and the green facades is, that green walls have soil overall face of the wall. Green facades only have soil on the ground.

When I thing about our project green walls for a green city, I think this is going to be a very interestign project
I wan't to find out, what affects the green walls have for our environment. I can imagine, that they have a very positive impact to reduce the greenhouse gasses. Furthermore I would like to find out, how the procedure is to make and to keep alive those green walls. Is it possible to make it everywhere? And are there any regulations in switzerland for the green walls.?
I hope in the end we can make a interesting blogpost, where other peoples can learn all those things about the green walls.
Let's find out, if the green walls are something for our future.

With the data from the app we could find out:
- How many animal products are consumed
- How many milk products are consume
- Which countries consume the most meat
- How much local food is consumed
- How much global food is consumed
- Is the food mostly organic or not organic
- How different are the food habits of females and males
- How different are the eating habits between the countries
- What is the most consumed food
We have some improvement ideas:
- There should be a box where you can choose if you eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack.
- You should be able to choose your gender. with this extra data we could also make researches of the different eating habits from women and man

For our homework we had the task to calculate energy from kJ to kWh.
Since a few years I am very interested in sports but also nutrition. For me it is very important to keep myself fit and nourish my body with the food that it needs.
Therefore, I’ve decided to calculate the energy which I burn during my workout and the food that I eat afterwards.
On Monday evening I went to my CrossFit lesson which’s load time was 30 minutes - total endurance 1 hour. My Garmin watch counted a total consumption of 320 calories during the workout.
Afterwards, I ate broccoli, spatzli and smoked tofu for dinner. The dish had a total calories of 380.
To calculate the calories of my food I use the app myfitnesspal and to convert the calories to KJ and kWh I’ve used this website.
I burned:
320 kilo calories (kcal) - which is 1339.776 kilojoules (kJ) - which is 0.37216 kilowatthours (kWh)
I ate:
380 kilo calories kcal - which is 1590.984 kilojoules (kJ) - which is 0.44194 kilowatthours (kWh)
I’ve decided to make the comparison of food burned and food eaten because I think it’s very interesting to see, how much energy we need during a workout in relation to the food that we eat.
