We had the idea that farmers could use drones to fertilize their fields instead of using big co2 emitting tractors. They can also share their drones. Using drones to fertilize saves a lot of co2 and also time and fuel. The farmers just have to charge their drones but that is still more economically friendlier than the use of tractors.
A plan to reach our goal is to convince at first one farmer to try our idea and like that we can spread our fertilizing method, if it works.
Per year the co2 Emission of These tractors is about 865 Million tons, so with our method we could save a lot of co2. Also all the fuel which is used for the tractors can be used otherwise.

Our idea is to try and share certain household utilities (Examples: power drills, ladders, washing machines, ...).

These are our ideas of what we could share:
- the workplace / desk
- clothes (secondhand)
- solar energy
- knowledge
- TV
- Newspaper
- E-Scooter
- bycicle
- phone battery
- jobs
- tools you don't need everyday (ladder, lawn mower etc.)

Audio Circular Economy
In order to understand the circular economy, it is important to know that there is also a linear economy. The linear economy simply is the process of manufacturing a product and after it has been used it gets discarded. As everyone knows, this is extremely bad for our environment since the product gets burnt which causes a lot of co2 emissions and the product is destroyed. This is very bad for our planet and therefore we needed a new solution.
Therefore, the circular economy has been created.More...
Have you ever wondered how much energy we consume indirectly in our lifespan? I think you might be surprised by the answer.
The following data was calculated for a human life in an industrialized country with a lifespan of 80 years.

We focused on Transportation all over the world including planes, cars and lorrys. Transportation, not only goods but also people transportation, causes 30 % of the whole CO2-emission. We made some research about what could be a usable and simple solution to reduce the amount of the worldwide emission. Have you ever asked yourself what causes the most CO2-emission?

Urban mining
Eco-friendlier with urban mining (Audio)
Urban mining is a revolutionary way of environmental recycling. In urban mining a city is seen as a place to regain raw materials. It is different from the recycling process we usually know (such as for glass or PET), because it is the recycling of different valuable substances from a mix of materials. It involves methods which are alike to those used by the extraction of resources from rocks, which is why it’s called “mining”. When a house is abandoned, both objects like a wooden door and raw materials like iron can be saved from the ruin. More...
