The Horse 2019/20

Hello everybody

Another way to share books besides the tree library is the website book crossing (https://www.bookcrossing.com/about). Though the website you can exchange books and you can even get in touch with persons who already read the book. In our opinion it’s a great and modern way to reuse books. The book crossing website is available in 132 countries and there are 13'276'191 book which are crossing the world. Book sharing websites are very common in countries like the USA or Germany. All you have to do is to create an account on bookcrossing.com and you’re able to share your books.

We're putting everything together (research and own texts) to one text. Now we'er almost ready to publish. Our goal for tomorrow is to be ready to publish the project or even to publish it. But we'll see tomorrow. Another goal for tomorrow is to find a cover picture for the post.

We're very happy to see how our post is getting created step by step and how far we are now. Now we're getting closer to the end of our project.

Hello everyone,

It’s clear for all of us that book sharing is a great way to save wood, which is good for our environment. In our opinion, we all should do something for our environment. Sometimes it’s difficult, but to make it easier for you we wanted to share an option to share books with you:

There is a tree library inside a tree in a forest in Hinwil. People can cycle or walk to the place and take some books out of it or bring their own books for free. This is a great way to share books and it’s very supportive for our environment too.

Our idea:
You could take a book from this library and write a few word on the first page of it. Maybe some requests or greetings. It would also be an option to write down the phone number or E-Mail address to exchange the opinion of the book. Everyone who read the book should write a few words after reading it. It would be very interesting so see how many people read the same book and you could also talk about the quality of it. We definitely will try it out! You could give it a try too. J

 So if you’re interested in visiting the tree library, let’s take a look! There are a lot of advantages of book sharing.

Best regards,

Deniz and Maria

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?

Team Sangeetha & Yllza

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..

Hello together 

We would like to share Task 7 with you as we answered some important questions concerning the project:

1 ) Goal of the project, Motivation (Intro - keep it very short!) - Was wollen sie? Wie (Methoden)? Zielpublikum? Wirkung - Wieso braucht es das? =>Vorteile Wirkung bzgl. Mensch & Umwelt

Goal: To show, if it’s worth to share books (concernant energy and other ressources). For example the sharing of our economy books with other apprentices. We would also like to introduce the tree library of Hinwil to you. Book sharing is for everyone, it doesn’t matter how old you are.

2) State of the art - Projektstand bis heute

We’ve finished the research (Befter step 2). We already posted the Befter step 1 and wrote about our aims. As well, we’re almost finished with the energy calculation and we cycled to the forest library in Hinwil. This was an interesting experience.

3) Your next steps - weitere geplante Schritte (gem. Konzept/Projektplan, sollte ersichtlich sein)

Now we would like to calculate how much energy we could save through book sharing. When we’ve finished the calculation, we would like to compare it to an E-book. For step 3 we want to cycle to the tree library of Hinwil to show you the quality of the books. We want to show different ways to share books, so people could treat our environment better.

4) Team work: Does it work? Are you organized reg. work load? Communication?

Our teamwork works very well. We separated the tasks as it is difficult to work through “teams”. We always show our results to each other before we post them. We both have different ideas which is great for a good teamwork to complete each other.

Best regards,

Hello everyone

Finally we worked out our Business Model Canvas. More...

Hello

This is our great idea about our car sharing app. The name off the app is "sharing". It's a app, where you can lend a car for a few hours or days. It's very simple. Firs of all, you have to register yourself and you have to deposit a credit card or your pay pal account. After that, the app asks you if you want kind of vehicle you want to drive. Lets say a family car or a smart for example. It's important that you activate your gps so that the car near your is shown. With one click, you can reserve the vehicle for 3 hours. At each "sharing" station is a safe with the key. You get the code for the safe on your app. The Car tracks and counts the km you drove and it will automatically will be put on your bill. You can return the car anytime to a "sharing" station. It is important, that you charge the car after using it a lot and as already said, when your finished, you have the plug in the car at the station, because it's a electric car. Your keys have gps on, so don't forget to put it back in the safe.

Hello guys

We decided to change our topic, because we wanted something that we have a relation to. As you can see our new topic is "sharing streaming platforms" for example Netflix, DAZN, Skysport etc.

If you a share an account of one of these streaming platforms, you can save a lot of money, but that's not the only advantage.  The providers can save a lot of energy, because they just have to send an email only to the account owner and not to every single user. The probability that there is a shorter dunning procedure for open invoices is higher, because several people manage the same account.

We would like to create an app, where you can enter your zip code and then people can see if there is an account available to share.

At the moment we are doing research on what energys we could save with our concept. 

Best regards

Hello everybody

Our team did some research on the internet this week.

In a first step we searched for "clothes to rent" and found out that some special clothes like high quality wedding dresses and suits are already for rent in some online shops.

Until now we haven't found any online shops that "share clothes". We understand that it is difficult to share clothes because of the following;

- The bodysize must be the same or else the clothes will get ugly with the time

- An uncarful person may cause damage to your clothes

- You need the clothes while it's rented to another person

We did some further resarch on how much clothes is getting wasted every year.

As an example of this we found out that every year 20 percent of the newly produced clothes are destroyed unworn by companies like Zalando. We thougt about an idea to reduce this waste by sharing those clothes. You can offer them to homeless people in the winter but also to regular people to wear it for a short amount of time and then give/share it with another person. This concept is the base of our app that we want to create. By bringing those unworn clothes in the market homeless poeple don't need to buy clothes. People who just want to wear another style can also profit off it by wearing it for a certain amount of time and then give/share it with another person.

Then we went on to the Task Miss Suter gave us. The question was to determine how much energy can be saved when 10 poeple would do it/wouldn't do it.

Best regards
