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

Team Sustainable Packaging Promotion

Dear friends, students and teachers

Did you ever think about the impact of plastic on our environment ?

We have the possibility to change something in our world and we should use this chance. A future without plastic or at least much less plastic would be much better. We want to show with our project what biodegradeable foil is and that there are so many opportunities of using it.

We should all stand together as one and make our world a better place for our next generations.

Imagination in 100 Years

Hey!
Today we asked ourselves the question how the maritime transportation in 100 years looks like.

we think the ships are not going to get bigger, because in the ports and canals (Suez and Panama canal) it would be tight for maneuvers. However, we believe that the ships will be using more sustainable fuel. Thus could be dispensed with heavy oils.

 

We could imagine that goods would also change because the world will continue to develop and become more interconnected during this time.

 The fact that the sea level will rise rapidly in the next few years, we can assume that the increased water, new trade routes for shipping arise.

Even the autonomous driving on the oceans could be or become an issue. However, it might be difficult to give the necessary security. When the barges are so alone on the oceans, they are as lost as they are.
