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?

Like we promised last week, we will tell you today what happens when we run out of petroleum.
According to calculations we will run out of oil in 50 to 60 years.
Many people do not know that we come into contact with products containing petroleum several times a day.
Which products contain petroleum?
- Cosmetic products (bodylotion, mascara & shower gel)
- Chewing gum
- Fuel (cars, plans etc.)
- Clothes
- Candles
- Tupperware
- Mattresses, duvets, pillows
- Swimming suit
- Cleaning products
- etc.
As you now realize, many products contain petroleum.
The consequence for us humans is therefore that we already have to find more alternatives to oil and get used to them. A lot of what is daily routine for us would fall away. For example, cars would run out of fuel, airplanes would no longer be able to fly and many articles would have to be produced differently, like chewing gum, clothes or cosmetic products.
Next time we will look at how we can share petroleum so that we can keep petroleum for a longer time.
Stay healthy and have a good time!

Hello:)
Our goal is to reach people who need high-quality jewellery once and for whom it is not worth having it forever. This can save a lot of material and effort.
First a few general things about the material: A piece of jewellery can consist of different materials. The most common are gold, silver, palladium, stainless steel, platinum etc. For example, a white gold chain can consist of 37% gold, 11% silver, 20% copper and 32% palladium. Gold, for example, is measured in carats, which means that a Cartier ring has been assumed to contain 18 carats of yellow gold, which means that it contains 3.6 grams of gold.
The fineness of a piece of jewellery indicates how much of the precious material in a piece of jewellery is in per thousand.
The distribution will be carried out via a homepage, on which all pieces of jewellery are registered. The procedure will be that we are like a company with individual departments, each of which is responsible for something. The customer can choose a piece of jewellery. This will be sent to his home. He can use it for a certain period of time. Afterwards, he sends it back and we clean it again so that it is ready for the next parade.
We hope that you were able to get a little insight.
Kind regardes

Hello everyone
We want to indicate you with this post how much energy you can save, while her our application uses and on it bargains shares. More...
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

Today we have collected some facts about petroleum.
- What is petroleum?
- Where can we find petroleum?
- How long will petroleum reserves last?
What is petroleum?
Millions of years ago, algae and plants lived in shallow seas. After dying and sinking to the seafloor, the organic material mixed with other sediments and was buried. Over millions of years under high pressure and high temperature, the remains of these organisms transformed into what we know today as fossil fuels.
Petroleum is a naturally occurring liquid found beneath the Earth’s surface that can be refined into fuel (Treibstoff). Petroleum is a fossil fuel, meaning that it has been created by the decomposition (Zersetzung) of organic matter over millions of years. It is formed in sedimentary rock under intense heat and pressure.

Where can we find petroleum?
- gasoline
- heating oil
- diesel fuel
- kitchen items
- clothing (to help make clothing non-flammable and colorful)
- plastic
For more information
How long will petroleum reserves last?
Petroleum will last for about 50 - 60 years!
If you want more information and you don't want to wait until next week click: Video - Petroleum
Next week we will inform you about: What will we miss when petroleum runs out?
Stay healthy!

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.

Hello!
As we mentioned in our "goals of today", we made some researches today. We would like to share some of them with you. We also wrote down our knowledge about it and experiences with book sharing:

Hello together
Today I made some research about existing Projects in future carsharing systems. I did also research, how much energy you can save by doing carsharing.
Best regards

Hello everyone
Down below you can find our first researches about our new sharing project.
How can we save with this kind of sharing?
- Because people always bring their borrowed accessoires back, there is no need to produce as much and there is no need to use as many machines and employees
- Saving of different manufacturing materials, such as silver, gold, nickel, copper etc.
- Money can also be saved
- People can save their time, because we have an Online-Shop and they do not need to go into a normal shop
Advantages:
- Save energy
- Save material
- Less production=better for the environment
Disadvantages:
- Property from the owner
- A own insurance
- Worse for economy, when they can sell less
What kind of energy could be saved?
- Grey energy. It is the amount of energy required for the production, transport, storage, sale and disposal of a product.
- Electricity, by the production
- Personal energy
More researches will follow.
Best wishes,
Selina and Julia
