Research

Research is a very important step in our project. We already contacted someone from the industry which can give us more information. Additionally, we already contacted our interview person. Furthermore, we are in contact with flight attendants which can give us information about the process on board. I work for the Airline Swiss therefore we have an advantage in which we are able to get in touch with the responsible persons easily.

Of course, we will also make our investigation in the internet and we already did some. A lot of information are available in the specific industries newspaper. Although there are not much data on the internet, we are also well connected that we can get every information.

We would be delighted if we hear something from the other students to make our topic more interesting.

We will get some photos how the crew prepares the food and how they reheat the meal on board.

Research

The second and one of the most important steps is research. We already informed us at the beginning of the project about bio packaging. I worked 5 years for the company Wipf AG, so I visited them and organised already some material. Now we have a data sheet and a documentation from the bio packaging foil with all the information about the raw material and production. We also got a sample of the bio packaging foil which can be used in different ways.

The following step was the reasearch in the internet. We found some different sources and saved them on the OneNote. Yesterday Sharon and I met to prepare the questions for our interview.

The next step will be to summarize the collected information to be well prepared for our interview with a specialist of the packaging department from Wipf AG.

We're looking forward to gain some new experiences.

Concept of our post on dontwastemy.energy

Green walls for a green city

Today our Team started to plan the post on dontwastemy.energy. We started Looking for some interesting Topics for our Project post. 

First of all, we want to explain what green walls are and where they can be found. Moreover we want to Show, what effects green walls have on the air in Citys. As well we want to contact an architect to learn how a green wall is created and if there are any regulations. 

The final summarize of our Topics:

1. What are green walls?

2. What effects do green walls have?

3. How is a green wall created?

4. Are there any regulations to build a green wall?

Here you can find our Project planning outline (as a mind-map):

 

We are Looking Forward to the Research!
