Today, we want to finish our final text. After that, we will continue with our video.
Stay tuned
So far I have done everything needed for IDAF and publication. I have updated all of my earlier posts regarding my publication process. The only thing I still need to prepare for is the podcast tonight. I am planning on updating this feed later today for my notes for the podcast, and tomorrow I am trying to update regarding the podcast. I assume the upload of the episode happens in the next month. But I am sure I will receive a raw version of the audio earlier than that.
I just got off the phone with Raphael. He and his wife own the blog "Einfach mehr". Just like me, he thinks it's great that I'm doing such a project. I told him that my post would be a part about the wastewater treatment, a part about the environmental aspect, a part about my visit at a wastewater treamtment sewage and a part about my interview with Ms Kappeler and the wastewater situation abroad. He thinks it would be okay if I would publish something on their blog and also said that it might be worthwhile to write several posts. To be able to get an overview, he even gives me a login for their site. Then I can look around a bit and write a first draft. Now I'm happy!
Today we had a zoom meeting with Sivani from Kerala to discuss the information we have gathered so far. We had a great conversation and we were able to really colaborate! We discussed the option of doing a survey and decided that we are going to conduct a survey. Sivani will send the link to her colleagues in India and we will send it to our classmates here in Switzerland. The questions in the survey will be the same.
We told her that we are going to have an online-interview with a person who is specialized in wind power and she really liked our plan.
We also discussed how we want to do the organization of the survey. We agreed that the survey has to be conducted until 9th of May. On this date we will also have our next zoom meeting at 14:00 o' clock and evaluate the survey together.
Our next step is to conduct the intwerviews, finish our explanatory video and prepare a cover picture that we can later use for our article on dontwastemyenergy.

THIS IS NOT A FINAL VERSION
Penan from Borneo
The Penan are an indigenous tribe on the island of Borneo, Malaysia/Indonesia. Today there are around 10’000 tribesman left. Most of the Penan settled down and left the nomadic lifestyle behind, but they still rely on the rainforest for most of their basic needs. Roughly a few 100 Penan still live the nomadic lifestyle and fully depend on their surrounding for their day-to-day needs. The traditional nomadic lifestyle includes hunting, fishing, and gathering of over 300 plants, roots and fruits.

We made a groupchat with the student Sivani from Kerala and wrote her a message with the informations about our project and suggestions on how we could collaborate. She immediately answered us and now we all can begin with our research!

From Luisa and Belinda
Since the collaborators in India have no relation to ski resorts, we assume that therefore no one is interested in our project. However, we are still full of motivation and are happy to announce Sedric as our newest team member. If any collaborator is interested in the future, they are always welcome to join us.
