Step 1 imagination - book sharing

Hello everyone,

We decided to change our topic. The new topic is "book sharing". The focus will be on textbooks.

  • Can we share or exchange textbooks between generations?
  • Would there also be disadvantages?
  • What other books can we share?
  • Will there be no more books at some point?
  • Could e-books then also be shared?

These are the main questions that Maria and I would like to answer and thus start our research.

We are looking forward to the results!

 

Best regards,

Maria and Deniz

 

Sharing clothes - what ressources can we save

We have thougt very intensively and long about all the ressources we can save by sharing clothes. We came up with These materials:

- cotton
- polyester

- Nylon

- leather 

- flax

- wool

- Denim

- ramie

- silk

- fur

- down filled parkas

- spandex

While thinking about all the different materials, we came up with a slightly new idea. We can share  the clothes but it would be possible to rent clothes. There are already some start-ups in the USA for example the company "rent to runway". 

There are other materials you would not think about in the first second.

- zipper

- shoe laces

- Velcro fastener

Sharing clothes

Hello everybody

We had the idea of clothes-sharing. That means we share clothes so we have a bigger variety of different styles. We can share hoodies, trowsers, shoes, caps and much more. 

With this experiment we want to find out more about different clothes and about the convenience of clothes-sharing. In a long term it should prevent people from buying to much from the stores and online-stores. Instead we want people to get to share their clothes.

There will of course be problems with sharing the clothes. First of all not everbody has the same height, which is probably the biggest difficulty. A small person can't fit the clothes of a taller person and vice-versa. As well as this it could be also a problem because not everybody has the same style. On the other hand it will be very interesting to wear different styles of different person.

Best regards

New Project: Energy sharing

Hello Together

Rahel and I want to introduce you to our new Project and our planing. We want 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.

We could imagine that we'll share our renewable ernergy in future with the accommodation, the family or the neighbours, in order to save energy and costs.
We could also imagine that for example the photovoltaic cells, through the technical Progress, could absorb more energy from the sun and also save it like a Memory Card.

The next 2 lessons we will spend the time with some research. After that we will start with calculations. 

Best regards,

Rahel and Shana
