Concept alcoholic beverages

Simon and Michel

Initial question: How do alcoholic beverages affect the environment (https://2020.the-horse.education/post/project-idea-how-do-alcoholic-beverages-affect-the-environment)

What plants can be used and what does it take to harvest them?

How long is the process to get the beverage?

Aims: There is a local brewery where we would like to go and make an interview. Also there are some distilleries where we would like to go.

We would like our project partners to do the same and make some interviews.

Diverse: We will take some photos in the brewery and integrate them into our interview.

 

Conception Mineral Oil

Hello together

Soon we want to start our project about mineral oil. Below you can find ou coception and planing.

First of all we want to calculate how much mineral oil is used in one specific product. So the Energy consumption, the packaging, the Transport and all other influences.
It would be really interesting to find out if there are differences of the mineral oil consumption for the same product in different countries.

If you are interestet in our project idea and like to join us, pleas leave a comment and let us know!

We look forward to an interesting collaboration.

Best regards

Concept collaboration project

How much food gets wasted in our supermarkets?

We want to find out how much food get wasted in our supermarkets and how we can reduce food waste.

We will interview owners of supermarkets about foodwaste in their shops. We will search solutions how we can reduce food waste in supermarkets and as well at home. We will research why exactly so much food get wasted. Is it because the best before date or is it because we have too much food?

Best regards

Water consumption

Hello everyone

Lars and I from Switzerland have an other idea for a collaboration project. We have no definitive idea now, but maybe we can work out one with your help and your additional ideas. At the moment, our imagination is to compare the water consumption from Switzerland with your country. Maybe you have an idea how we can connect this topic with the main topic "food and climate". We thought about the question if you have in your country enough drinking water for every inhabitant like Switzerland has. We think this topic could interest a lot of people all over the world.


We are looking forward to your comments and a nice collaboration.

Kind regards
Lars and Dharany

Project Idea

Nowadays it is normal to drive to work by car in the morning. But is that necessary? In Switzerland, we can be proud of our public transport, because it connects even the smallest villages. Why do not we just use public transport? Because of convenience? In addition, owning a car is much more expensive than, for example, a train subscription for the whole of Switzerland. A car-free life is also much better for the environment. That's why we challenge you to live without a car for a month!
