Review from multiple people

Team with Alisha, Inês and Nina

After finishing our project we gave it to multiple people to review.

Leonie said: „It is a really interesting topic. You collected relevant information and I was able to learn some new things. It was well structured and easy to understand and comprehend. The survey gives the project a personal touch and a way to relate instead of only reading passively.“

We also had Alisha‘s mother read and correct our grammatical mistakes, since her first language is english.

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)

Framework for our contribution

Reducing daily Co2 emissions

CO2 emissions are a constant topic of conversation in our day and age. As a world, we know that we must reduce our CO2 emissions, and that we have to do it quickly. But how can that be achieved? We asked ourselves that very question: "How can we reduce our daily CO2 emissions and motivate other people to do the same?"

Our idea:

Everyone creates CO2 emissions and it is a huge undertaking to minimise these emissions. For this reason, we wanted to focus on daily CO2 emissions in our project. During a brainstorming session we found ourselves facing some of the following questions: "What exactly are CO2 emissions? How do we create CO2 emissions in our daily lives? Is there a way to reduce our daily CO2 emissions?" With these questions in mind we started researching and found small and easy changes that everyone can make to reduce their own daily CO2 emissions. More...

Goals and achievements for today 16.05.

Team with Nina, Inês and Alisha

In the first lesson we had an introduction to WordPress and started discussing what we have to do. Unfortunately Alisha had to leave in the break so there were only two of us to work on the project.

What we intend to do:

  • Finish writing our framework and make a post on the horse
  • Start transfering to WordPress and finalise the project
  • Start working on the remaining tasks

What we achieved:

Update on our survey

Team with Nina, Inês and Alisha

We received feedback from Frau Suter for our questions. We applied the feedback and adapted the questions. 
Our next step is to prepare a draft email to send to students in WKVW, India and Dubai. You can read the mail down below:

Dear participant,

For a school project we are conducting a survey on "reducing daily CO2 emissions". 
We are confronted with CO2 emissions on a daily basis and in recent years it has become clear that we need to reduce emissions to help the environment.

Thank you for taking 5 minutes out of your day to complete this survey.

Kind regards
Nina, Inês and Alisha

Our next step is to send out the survey.

 

 

Our survey questions

Team with Nina, Inês and Alisha

Here are our drafted survey questions:

1. Have you heard of CO2 emissions before?
2. What do you understand under the term CO2 emissions? (Answer also possible in german)
3. Do you think the current laws and regulations in Switzerland about CO2 emissions are strict enough?
4. Do you think the different countries are doing enough to solve this global problem?
5. Who do you think is responsible for solving the problem of CO2 emissions? More...

From the experience to the media

Team: Nina, Inês, Alisha

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.
