Hello together
Nowadays the mineral oil is getting narrow and we need to replace this energy source with renewable energy. This is how Rahel and I got our idea for our second Project in T&U. We would like to calculate how many water supply companies, wind generators and photovoltaic cells you need to cut down to half of the amount of mineral oil we use now.
It would also be possible to share the photovolatic cells. So neighbours or familiy members could share their renewable energy and the costs for the production.
We will spend the first two lessons with searching good sources and after that we will start to calculate.

One way to produce renewable energy is with a hydroelectric power station (Wasserkraftwerk). It is eco-friendly because you can produce electricity without destroying the environment. More...
I'm sure that you all have heard from solar energy before! 🌞
People have always made use of solar energy, for example when they let their laundry dry outdoors. Today, the word "solar energy" mainly brings to mind that people can make electricity from it. However, this requires solar cells that take up a lot of space. The sun's rays are converted directly into electricity. Such solar cells can already be seen on many house and factory roofs. More...
So many electrical devices are produced every day. Whether IOS or Android system everyone needs and wants at least one mobile phone. It already counts as a status symbol for many people. Everyone wants to own the newest and most advanced device. More...
Who doesn't like the beautiful lights during Advent season?
Walking from school back to the train station we relalized the beautiful winter lights made of recycled material - what a great idea, isn't it?
As we enjoyed them pretty much on our ways during the cold, dark evenings we wanted to share it with you:
Wishing all of you a wonderful Christmas time!
Warm wishes from Wetzikon,

Hello everyone,
We will talk about the impact on climate by food. We've posted the imagination step 1 an now we will think about how it well look like in a hundred years.
First of all we need to imagine what we will eat in a hundred years. Did we change our eating habits because of our climate, because there are no animals left or because of cultural change? In our opinion we will have changed our eating habits because of the climate. At this time the meat production will still exist but it will be reduced enormous and we will eat more insects than nowadays. Insects can replace beef, pork and chicken, because of their high amount of energy and protein. In addition eating insects would be better for our environment, because we don't have too give them food as we have to do with cows, pigs and chickens. Furthermore there will be less vegetables and fruits, because our climate will change and the import will be more difficult because of the co2 emission.
Best regards,
Deniz and Maria
How will Airplane food look like in a 100 years?
In our future the airplane food will be liquid and in some sort of tube or package like the ones the astronauts use.
However, this is only the case if we as humanity still have to fly for several hours and not beam around the place like they do in StarTrek.
Kind regards
Jeff & Loris

In my initial post , i had introduced my idea which includes looking into the agricultural methods used by the farmers in my country currently. By this we will have an idea on whether the farming methods used are harmful or not and while researching for this I had found many articles on the net :-
These are just some of the many articles present out there which More...
Goals:
- Find out how much government revenue can be generated by legalizing cannabis
- Find out on what the money that would be generated by legalizing cannabis, could be spent on
- Where can the plant be grown to better protect the environment
- What are the downsides of the planMore...
We prepared a few questions for the survey.
We still have to decide whether we do the survey online or live.
Afterwards we have to make an appointment with the Bio Farm to see how they produce the meat.
1. How often do you eat meat?
2. Do you think meat will be replaced in a few years?
3. Is a vegeterian life better?
4. Did you ever see how they produced the meat?
5. Do you think that we increase the eating of food?
In our project we want to find out how much money the government could earn with the cannabis-legalisation and how this money could get used to fight against the climate change.
