Step 2 - questions for the interview

13. May 2020 Yllza-Hadergjonaj Project planning, Step 2 Research, Team Air food waste, VZ19A (0)

We have already mentioned some questions that we would like to answer. Those are the main Questions we are the most interested in to answer by means of research and/or an interview with an Airline. 

The following Questions are the ones we want to the interviewee

Interview Questions:
1. how much waste does you Airline produce? (per day, week, flight)
2. Do Airlines recycle?
3. How do you reduce the Food waste? Do you even try reducing it?
4. What happens with the leftover Food (not served yet)?
5. Where does the leftover Food from planes go? (since it is specially prepared)
6. How has the current virus effected the Food waste?
7. How can passengers help reducing the waste?

Step 1 - airplane food waste ideas

29. April 2020 Yllza-Hadergjonaj Project planning, Team Air food waste, VZ19A (1)

Have you ever wondered what happens with the leftover Food on the airplane? We would like to deal with this topic, since we like to travel. 

- What exactly happens to the food on the planes that is left?

- Do people show consideration for the food on the planes? e.g. When you go to a restaurant and order food, you look at the fact that you eat everything or take it into consideration, because you pay for it

- What happens to the food that is not distributed because there is too much of it?

- What happens with the packaging of the Food?

These are the Questions that we would like to answer by means of research and an interview with an Airline. 

Further questions will certainly arise during the research..

The power of wind

25. March 2020 Yllza-Hadergjonaj Energy knowledge, VZ19A (2)

Energy carrier wind

Wind power is a sustainable and renewable Energy, and has a much smaller Impact on the Environment compared to Burning fossil

Disadvantage of using wind
A first disadvantage is the unreliability of energy production by wind. A wind turbine can only produce electricity if it is moved by the wind. The production of wind energy is therefore dependent on the presence of wind. This means that no reliably constant amount of energy can be produced. Another negative aspect in the production of wind Energy is the fact that wind as an Energy source cannot be stored, but must be converted directly into electricity. In Addition, a large number of wind power plants are necessary to ensure the supply of an area. More...

heating in my house

-my Energy source is heating oil

-The function of oil heating systems is in principle quite simple. The oil is pumped into the oil tank and heated. With the help of fine nozzles it is then atomised and sprayed into the combustion chamber where it is ignited by electric sparks. The resulting heat is then directed to the water in the boiler, which is then transported to the radiator. The resulting exhaust gases are released via the chimney.

sharing books

11. March 2020 Yllza-Hadergjonaj SHARING, VZ19A (0)

Team: Sangeetha & Yllza

We had the idea about sharing books. We came up with this idea because we know a lot of people buy books and never read or use them again and we know that libraries already exist but we want to motivate people to use this kind of ressource that is already offered more.

Our thought was inventing an app where they can lent the book as an e-book with their member Card and that gives you access to the libraries. To receive the member Card you pay a monthly amount of money.

For those who want the e-book as a "book in paper"  they can delivered home but they have to pay the charges for the transport. 

With this system we might motivate People to share and read more books, because we know many people are to lazy to go to the library.
