Propagation Post

After finishing our project we think that we achieved our goals and did everything we aspired to do. We gained knowledge on CO2 emissions and what we can do to help. As a team we worked really well together and also changed our own behaviours. We think that some of the people who filled out our survey will change their behaviour to reduce their daily CO2. Overall we are really happy with the outcome of our final contribution and we would love if you would take the time to take a look at it: (insert link)

Reflection - Animal welfare

At the beginning of this project we didn't know that large image files are bad for the environment. We also learned a lot about animal rights. It was interesting to visit a local farm and also interview several people from a farm and animal welfare organisations.

We suggest that we pay attention to what we buy and buy meat wisely. Public awareness of improvements in livestock welfare should be pushed forward, like the motto "Do good and talk about it". It is to be hoped that the EU and the USA will take the Swiss animal protection as an example. If everyone did this, all living beings and nature would be a little better off. Quality comes before quantity. It's never too late to start.

Task 28 - Reflection

While thinking back on our work for the project, we came to the decision that we already knew quite a lot about the subject at the beginning, for example, that artificial snow is very expensive and that it will be used more and more as time goes on. What we were not aware of, however, was the impact that artificial snow has on the environment. For example, a meadow is strongly changed by the artificial snow, because much more water melts towards the end of the winter and thus displaces plants that rather prefer the dryness.

 

Stay tuned for our final contribution!
