Calculation of income
We want to find out how much government revenue can be genarated by legalizing cannabis. In Switzerland we consume 60 tonnes of cannabis per year. One gramm costs about 10 francs.
60 t = 60'000'000 g
60'000'000 g x 10 francs = 600 Milion francs
When cannabis would be legal, the state could charge a tax and invest each year in environmental protection. With already 20 percent they woud have 120 Millions per year to invest.
Street Survey
What do the people think of cannabis and would they legalize it.
What do the people think where this money should be invested in? Is it environmental protection or drug prevention.

Production of hemp
Find out the costs of the hemp production by vistiting a plantation:
- water
- electicity
- fertilizer
- general costs (wage , rent, salaries and security for plentation)
We want to visit the company BioCan. BioCan is Switzerland's largest producer of legal hemp. We will write an email and ask if we can come for a visit and an Interview.
Investments in environmental protection
- solar energy
Currently, the photovoltaic prices are on averge 1'500 francs per kWp. For one average photovoltic system for a single-family dwelling costs in the purchase of less than 8'000 francs. The state could start by purchesing and installing these sytems on the roofs of the houses owned by the state.
- find other ways to invest the money, for example in wind energy, electic cars and planting trees.

Unfortunately my partner isn't around, he is sick. But I talked a bit to him about our next steps.
Today, I'm going to find out how much better vegetarian food is better for our planet and if it is really better. Im not sure if i'm going to to a survey or ask people on the streets what their opinion about the meet production and their effect on our earth is and more stuff like that. I want to prepare something.
Today we had the possibility to make an interview with a specialist for renewable packaging of the development department of the company Wipf AG.
We prepared the questions carefully before and gained very much new knowledge. We also had the chance to take some pictures and make a video of a part of the production process which was very intersting to see.
Our next steps will be to bring our interview in form and edit our taken video before we post it. We also want to take another video in a store to show the differences between the production part and the purchase part. We want to show that it is possible to do the shopping more or less plasticfree.
Stay tuned!
Best regards

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...
We will talk about the impact on climate by food. We haven't done a research yet, so these are our thoughts about this topic:
Meat and fish in general has a bad impact on climate, because the production needs a lot of energy and has a high co2 emission. At the moment we can't imagine which meat variety is better and which one is worse. But we think there is a lot of food which is better for our climate than meat, for example vegetables in general, grain products or nuts.
Now we're excited to learn more about this topic.
Best regards,

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?
Hello everybody
We would like to share the concept of our project with you.
