In the first befter exercise we had the task to reflect our own about the chosen topic. We thought about what would be if we would use sustainable packaging methods.
If we think about a possibility of renewable and sustainable packaging method, there is a lot what comes up in our mind. First of all the waste problem. We throw away so much packaging which we don’t need because the humans, the stores and the industry use it without any sense. There are bananas which are packaged in plastic foil, for what? The second thing is the whole industry which produces plastic packaging. We have the possibility to change something in our world but don’t use this chance. There are so many intelligent people with great ideas but that is something our industry isn’t interested in because there is no chance to make much money with. Some companies realised that there is a gap in the market and took their chance to create another packaging system with sustainable and biodegradable foil.

Names of research team: Stefanie Kunz, Simone Etter, Tamara Keller
Project idea / topic: The life cycle of a local product
Our Questions, we want to answer with our project:
- Which steps are necessary to produce an apple?
- How and when will the apples be picked from the tree?
- How big or small is the ecological footprint of this production and its impact on the climate?

I've recently been to Chile and visited the so called Hotel Winebox (winebox.valparaiso-hotels.com). This is a hotel made of recycled materials. Shipping containers have been used to build the shape, rooms etc. of the More...
Interested in doing a project on a real future topic?
Technique is proceeding very fast, a lot of new ideas were implementet until todays time and they are on doing every day. Therefore digitisation is a very common and also important topic for all of us. It's also a topic supporting a well-balanced environment in different aspects. We'd like to do cross-comparisons through different countries, analyze what people think about it and where which kind of efforts have been made.
We think, this topic can also be linked with food and Climate because digitalistation is also a big topic in agriculture.
Do you also like real future projects? Let's work together! :)

One of our tasks was blogging our food on the KoBo Toolbox. Unfortunately, I missed the interduction class to this task due to sickness. However, once I joined the class, I found the experience really interesting. Eventough it was difficult to Keep up with documenting everything I consume, it really made me realise how I fuel my body. I started to be more aware of what I eat, for my health as well as for the enviroment. I started eating healthier and feeling better thanks to that. I also ate more homemade meals, because this way I knew exactly what I was eating and where it came from.
Since I stopped blogging my food experience, I have notice that I am less conscious of what I eat. I could feel the Impact the unaware eating had to my body, so I am thinking of documenting my nutrition on my own time!
In conclusion, this project was a interesting learning experience about the food, it's origin and ingredients as well as the impacts my eating habits have for my health and the enviroment.
Hi you,
Tourism creats a big income for the country. However, it's also a part which causes pollution and destroys the nature. Maybe there is a possibility to get a better balance for this sector? Check my recording about sustainable hotels to get an idea what my thoughts for an upcoming project is and let me know your feedback.
Best regards, Stefanie Kunz
