Sharing project

Hello together

Unfortunately we haven't had the opportunity to talk about our project. but we spontaneously decided to lead the project about plastics. At the beginning we would like to collect as much information as possible to see how the plastic can be used most efficiently. We will still see how we can work best and find a strategy.

 

Best regards

Gamesharing

Hello everyone

Our goals today are:

  • thinking of a way, to share games efficiently
  • Do an experiment with the sharing function on our console
  • ask friends, if they share games together
  • prepare survey for gamers in our age

Our strategy is to do everything together step by step. For our survey we plan to create a link, where they can fullfil the survey.

If you have any questions or inputs, feel free to contact us. 

Regards,

Deia and Rezon

Sharing concept: New technology --> App

Introduction:
Many people in the world already have a mobile phone. You need a phone to make calls, chat, email and be on social media. Apps are required to perform these tasks. You need gigabytes to download and buy apps. And actually isn’t it tedious (mühsam) to pay more for a phone just to have more gigabytes to download more apps? Wouldn’t it be more interesting and better to have just one app for everything? It seemed very cool for us. That’s why we decided to create a app and would like to bring you closer to the whole thing. More...

Clothes sharing - Don't waste my clothes!

Do you have a piece of clothing that you haven't worn for ages but you can't get rid of it? Wouldn't it be nice to make other people happy with it and help to reduce todays useless consumption? Look no further! Read the following article for more information.

Our idea

We want to revolutionize the process of clothes sharing. We thought that instead of giving your clothes to a secondhand store, you could put them online on a special website. On this website people can post their clothes and others can borrow them for a special occasion. So for example if you want a dress for a party, but you don't have the means to buy a new one, maybe on the website you spot a dress you really like. The website would have filters where you can filter the color, size, material, brand and lenghts of the clothes. After the event you can easily return the clothes to the owner. This way the clothes can be shared multiple times, won't rot in the closet and can bring joy to new people. More...

Sharing concept of old school books

Introduction

Every year, many young students have to pay around 1000 Swiss francs for their new school books in order to start the BMS. Therefore many trees are getting felled which is not good for our environment. Additionally the old books would just get burned which creates a lot of co2 emissions and wastes a large amount of energy. So wouldn't it be better if the students who finished the BMS could just give their books to the new students? This way we could safe a lot of trees and money at the same time. 

My idea

This is the idea I have and which I believe could help a lot of students and the environment at the same time. More...

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
