Zusammen mit dem Team von Coral Reefs (Edmond, Mia, Yannick) haben wir ein Brainstorming durchgeführt für mögliche Medien Kanäle bei welchen wir anfragen können ob wir einen Kurzbericht über unser Projekt veröffentlichen können.
We prepared a survey for our project and would like to test it before publishing.
We would be grateful if you answered our questions. You can quickly click on "survey".
Thanks in advance!

Today we had a meeting with Advaith and Abhinav from India.
Next steps:
They will interview some professional/amateur cricket and soccer player about their nutrition. And as soon as they finished we will start to compare and find a summary.
They were very committed to working with us and we had very interesting discussions with them. We have a very good feeling that our project will work out.

Media is a very powerful tool which can make a great difference in a project. In our project "reducing daily CO2 emissions" we want to try and include different media forms.
Social Media (Instagram): on social media you can reach a large amount of people. We prepared an Instagram post for @dontwastemyenergy so that people can get a first impression about our project.
Article: at the end of our project we will write a short article/summary about our project with a how to guide on reducing daily CO2 emissions.
Survey: we are going to conduct a survey with different schools.
Pictures/videos: we want to try to add pictures/videos in our article.
As we mentioned we visited a farm of a friend on 15.03.2023.
Here are the photos we took:

The following informations we got from wikipedia and several online websites and from the interviews.
Husbandry and production
Animal-friendly husbandry and care of farm animals form the basis for a good animal health. It is the basis for efficient agriculture and the production of safe food for us humans. Livestock farming is the first link in the production chain of animal food. A central task of all farmers is to maintain the health of their animals and to prevent diseases. [1]
Livestock facilities
Livestock facilities are periodically checked for animal welfare regulations. With animal-friendly barn equipment you avoid damage and illnesses and promote the well-being of the animals. Therefore, the Animal Welfare Act stipulates that mass-produced barn equipment and housing systems require offical approval. [1]
Factory farming initiative (Massentierhaltungsinitative)
On 25.09.2022 the Swiss voters voted on the factory farming initiative (Massentierhaltungsinitiative). The initiative was rejected with 63 percent. The initative wanted to include the protection of the dignity of farm animals such as chickens or pigs in the constitution. It also wanted to ban factory farming. [2]
Transport
A maximum time of 8 hours is permitted for livestock transports within Switzerland. The travel time from the loading area is under 6 hours. Animals may only be transported if it can be expected that they will survive the transport without damage. The driving style must protect the animals. [3]
Slaughtering and killing of animals
If the treatment of sick or injured animals is futile or only possible with great pain, they should be killed to limit the suffering. The chosen method of killing must also lead to the certain death of the animal. [4]
Hunger for meat
"Meat is the Swiss' favorite vegetable." (Fleisch ist des Schweizers liebstes Gemüse). In 2021, a total of 494'614 tons of slaughtered meat was produced. Pork (Schweinefleisch) accounted for around 230'000 tons, beef (Rindfleisch) almost 120'000 tons and poultry (Geflügelfleisch) a good 112'000 tons. Meat production costs 2.9 billion Swiss francs. The annual meat consumption of a person of the Swiss population is 51.82 kilograms.
The Swiss population's need for meat cannot be covered by home production. We are dependent on importing meat from abroad. [5]
Media outlets are powerful tools that can be used to promote projects and ideas. Our wind power project is a perfect example of a project that can benefit from the use of various media outlets.
Social media is a powerful tool that can reach a large number of people in a short amount of time. By using social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, we can create posts, share images, and videos about our wind power project. We can also use hashtags.
Newspapers are a great way to reach people locally who may not be active on social media. By writing an article about our wind power project and submitting it to local newspapers, we can get our message out to a wider (maybe even elderly) audience.
We will also write an article about our wind power project and post it on dontwastemyenergy.
We will conduct an interview with different people, record it and write an article about it.
We’re also going to produce a video which explains how a wind turbine works.

Media we are going to use:
- We are going to take photos of our plastic collection (bottles) while we are collecting it. We have planned to take a photo everyday to capture our progress and then put it together into a short film (iMovie on Luana‘s MacBook) to visualise it.
- We‘ll make a survey on Kobo Toolbox and have people answering our questions. We‘ll promote the survey on the instagram account of don‘t waste my energy and our personal instagram accounts. But before we do that, we‘re going to do a test run with our class. After people have answered the survey we want to analyse the data and write a text about it as well as visualising the data in different diagrams (Excel).
We already used a survey tool and did a few interviews per E-Mail and we also used the platform instagram. We decided to do our interviews in written form and not by audio because they could answer the question with time and consider their answers and maybe also rewrite them.
We could image to record an audio as an additional medium.
In the future we will add more pictures to visualize our project with the animals and the farms.
We could refer to newspaper articles that have already been created by organisations and journalists.
In the end we will write an article about our animal welfare project and post it on dontwastemyenergy.ch.
Unfortunately, my scheduled collaboration has cancelled our appointment. I am now actively searching for a new partner who can provide insight and expertise on wastewater treatment practices abroad. My teacher gave me two other options:
Ms Kappeler and Mr Stadler
Both are experts in wastewater treatment. I wrote them today a e-mail. Lets look, what they will answer.
- Find another collaboration partner
- Write a post about the cancelation with Mr. Maurer
- Write a post how to find another collaboration partner
- Discussion with Ms Suter
