The Horse 2019/20

Technology & Environment

We want you!

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:

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!

What does the world look like in 100 years?

The earth is getting warmer, more and more trees are being felled, w

e need more and more food every day.

But what will the whole world look like in 100 years?  We also asked ourselves this question and numerous ideas came to our minds.

But what does a child, a teenager, an adult, an economics teacher, a climate physicist think about it? With the help of interviews we would like to explore the different views. Do you have any ideas? Contact us for an interview or a collaboration!

We are looking forward to a project enforcement and good cooperation with you!
