Goals for Today (29.11.19)

Our goals for today's lessons: 

1st goal: Answer emails from climate researchers and arrange appointments

2nd goal: Create an interview questionnaire for climate researchers (Emanuela and Vanessa)

We have achieved both our goals.

Next step

- Create a questionnaire for a nutritionist and contact a nutritionist (Emanuela)

- Create a questionnaire for a biologist and contact a biologist (Vanessa)

What to do on 29.11.19

Unfortunately my partner isn't around, he is sick. But I talked a bit to him about our next steps.

Today, I'm going to find out how much better vegetarian food is better for our planet and if it is really better. Im not sure if i'm going to to a survey or ask people on the streets what their opinion about the meet production and their effect on our earth is and more stuff like that. I want to prepare something.

What to do on 29.11.2019

Michel and I are going to do:

  • Look up local breweries or distilleries
  • Start with the questions of the interview
  • Create a draft for request to make an interview

 

 

We found our brewery. It's located in Pfäffikon ZH. I will go there personally to ask if we could make an interview/tour of the brewery. This would be a great opportunity for Deia and Rezon for the Instagram page. The brewery from "Chopfab" could be a possibility as well.

We got some questions together which we got in a seperate word file.

Unfortunately we hadn't got time to create the draft.

 

Sincerely Simon & Michel

Our goals for today - 29th of November 2019

Impact on climate by food

In this two lessons we are going to finish our research for 20 minutes. After researching, we are going to exchange the results. We might have our conversation with Ms. Suter about how far we are during these lessons. Until the end of the second lesson we would like to have the questionnaire for the interview ready. We thought about a municipality, for example Bülach, Winterthur or Zürich. During the research, we might find some other contact points to do the interview with.

 

Best regards and have a nice day.

Step 1 - Imagination

We will talk about the impact on climate by food. We haven't done a research yet, so these are our thoughts about this topic:

Meat and fish in general has a bad impact on climate, because the production needs a lot of energy and has a high co2 emission. At the moment we can't imagine which meat variety is better and which one is worse. But we think there is a lot of food which is better for our climate than meat, for example vegetables in general, grain products or nuts.

Now we're excited to learn more about this topic.

Best regards,

Deniz and Maria

Collaboration chocolate project

Step 1, imagination

Hello together

We would like to find out, how much chocolate is produced in one year, in Switzerland (Switzerland has the highest consumption per person). In Addition, we would like to calculate, how much cocoa beans are needed for one chocolate bar and how much beans are needed for the whole consumption in Switzerland in one year. Shana and me would focus on the production of chocolate here in Switzerland and visite a chocolate factory and Elizabeth could focus on the cocoa bean and it's growth in india.

Because of the collaboration with Elizabeth from India, we have the privilege, to compare Switzerland with India in relation to the chocolate production.

Furthermore we want to find out, how the climate change has an influence on the growth of cocoa in Kerala.

Best regards,

Shana & Rahel
