Preview of upcoming weeks

Team with Nina, Inês and Alisha

DI, 28.03.2023
Unfortunately Inês wasn't able to attend today's group collaboration, so we had to postpone the discussion of the survey questions. Instead we worked with the Wind Power Team to create the peer feedback and then started to use their feedback to improve our project. Start discussing the questions for the survey.

Receive an introduction for the survey tool, as well as getting to know the tool and make the final selection of the questions. Contact different schools to ask if they can forward our survey to their students. More...

Feedback - Reducing daily CO2

Dear Nina, Alisha and Inês

Below you can find our feedback regarding your project.

1. can I get an impression of the project in a short time?

After reading your posts on the horse, we were able to get a short overview of your project "reducing daily CO2" and what you would like to do. The first impressions of your project are really good. It is a very exciting topic and you posted a lot of interesting information on the horse. 

2. Are all steps clearly communicated

The steps are really clear to us. We think it would be nice, if you add a timetable to the horse, so we can see the next steps. However, we think your updates on how far you've come are great!

3. what already looks promising, interesting

We think you have made a very good effort in posting lots of interesting information. Your concept is a great overwiev of your project. You have written a great "Vision and Imagination" and we can see that you have potential in the future. Additionally, it is important that you raise awareness about this matter. What really caught our eye is that you asked a question in your post and then answered it in detail.

4. what could be added

As we mentioned before, we would love if you could add a timetable.

5. In your opinion, where does the project stand on a scale of 1-10?

In our opinion, the project is on a very good way. We hope you continue your project and work at the same pace.

We rate this project a 9.5/10. Keep up the excellent work!

General update

Team with Inês, Nina and Alisha

The first stage of our project is completed: we have done research on CO2 emissions, analysed how we create emissions and gathered ideas on how to reduce the emissions.

The next step is creating the survey. We have decided to make the survey with "survey monkey". We have set ourself the task to each come up with three question ideas for the survey until the next group collaboration, where we will discuss the ideas and concretise the questions to start creating our survey.

Vision and imagination

Team with Inês, Nina and Alisha

What are our imaginations for the project?

Quote from Nina: "When I joined the team and thought about the project, the first thing that came to mind is my own co2 emission. I drive a car and make quite a few kilometers a day, so it isn‘t too easy to reduce the co2 emission since public transport is inconvient in my situation. But I thought about other things I could change, like buying local food or using second hand clothing instead of fast fashion. As a side note I want to add that there is an interesting project on the project of fast fashion." More...

How do we create CO2 emissions?

Team with Inês, Nina and Alisha

Today we did research on how people create CO2 emissions. Here is a list with the top 4 causes:

1. Burning of fossil fuels -> people do this for heating
2. Deforestation -> this means that the forest gets cut down
3. Transport -> car, bus, train, airplane 
4. Cement production -> cement is used for lots of things for example for buildung houses More...
