**A happy new year to all of you!**
Let's start with something we think is an important theme.
Christmas time and New Years Eve are over now and a lot of you received beautiful presents or made great gifts by your own to the persons you love.
Can you remember the way the presents were wrapped in?
A lot of the bought gifts are firstly packed in plastic and afterwards in a cardboardbox. Don’t forget the gift wrapping paper in the next step, fixed with adhesive tape which is made out of plastic.

Dear friends, students and teachers
Did you ever think about the impact of plastic on our environment ?
We have the possibility to change something in our world and we should use this chance. A future without plastic or at least much less plastic would be much better. We want to show with our project what biodegradeable foil is and that there are so many opportunities of using it.
We should all stand together as one and make our world a better place for our next generations.

Today we had the possibility to make an interview with a specialist for renewable packaging of the development department of the company Wipf AG.
We prepared the questions carefully before and gained very much new knowledge. We also had the chance to take some pictures and make a video of a part of the production process which was very intersting to see.
Our next steps will be to bring our interview in form and edit our taken video before we post it. We also want to take another video in a store to show the differences between the production part and the purchase part. We want to show that it is possible to do the shopping more or less plasticfree.
Stay tuned!

Our project idea concerns the sustainable packaging method. In my opinion, there should be a possibility to create or develop a method which is 100% bio degradeable. Our world and nature as we know until today, will no longer exist in the future if we go the same way as we do now. We should take care about our environment. If I think about a renewable and sustainable packaging method, I have a lot of thoughts which come to my mind; the waste problem, industries, the production by itself, the environment which is polluted by so much plastics.
In my opinion our aim should be to give an overview about some alternative packaging methods. We will concentrate on the sustainable and bio degradeable foil and clarify how the impact to the environment is in contrast to a common plastic foil. We’d like to answer the questions which raw materials are needed, if it is really better than plastic packaging, what the advantages and disadvantages are and what the impact to our lives is.
I’d like to change the thinking of the humans which has hopefully an influence to the behaviour.
If you’d like to know more about our project and concept, take a look here.

With our project we’d like to show how can we reduce plastics. In our eyes, it should be possible to use sustainable packaging methods in our industry nowadays instead of plastics which is very harmful to our whole environment.
Here you'll find our interview with mother nature:

Are you interested in this topic and do you think we can change something?
Let us know and leave a comment!
We are looking forward to our collaboration.

In the first befter exercise we had the task to reflect our own about the chosen topic. We thought about what would be if we would use sustainable packaging methods.
If we think about a possibility of renewable and sustainable packaging method, there is a lot what comes up in our mind. First of all the waste problem. We throw away so much packaging which we don’t need because the humans, the stores and the industry use it without any sense. There are bananas which are packaged in plastic foil, for what? The second thing is the whole industry which produces plastic packaging. We have the possibility to change something in our world but don’t use this chance. There are so many intelligent people with great ideas but that is something our industry isn’t interested in because there is no chance to make much money with. Some companies realised that there is a gap in the market and took their chance to create another packaging system with sustainable and biodegradable foil.

We had an interview with mother nature about the plastic problem in our world.
We invite you to listen to our interview here:
Because we are interested in bio packaging we'd like to learn more about this topic.

We had the task to track every meal, make a photo and load it up into the «KoBo Toolbox».
It is a very interesting exercise and it is astonishing, what we eat the whole day if we just think about all the ingredients. It isn’t just the food we have to think about, it is also the whole process, from harvesting to packaging and transporting it to us.
For me this KoBo Toolbox was quite challenging because i forgot to take pictures and write a short report very often. Usually right after having a meal or in the evening when I got to bed it came up to my mind: the toolbox. I asked myself why is it so hard to remember this little thing and I just had one answer; habits. It takes a long time until new actions turn into habits so it is totally normal to forget these things if there is no routine at all. If you would like to know more about routine and habits, take a look at the article here or the study here.

We had the task to do a research about a plant which we use to eat. We decided to do a search of a plant which is known mostly as a drug.
Although this plant can be used for about 60'000 different things rarely one knows; one can use it for cooking as a superfood. It isn't just a drug, it is also used in the pharma and textile industry and we find the plant hemp in form of seeds, oil and flour. Hemp is a very healthy plant because it contains a lot of vitamins and mineral nutrients, much protein and a lot of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids.
The parts of the plants which are used for cooking are the seeds. Normally, the blossoms aren't used for cooking.
