Hi there!
We are students from the wkvw school in Wetzikon, Switzerland.
We are currently working on a project about bottle bricks and have made a survey for it. We would be very grateful if you could spread the survey among your students, so we could get different answers from different countries.

Thanks in advance.
Greetings
Leonie, Luana and Alicia
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.

We are looking forward to seeing the results of the survey and are curious as to how our project will continue!
Today Luana is sick and Leonie and i are working on our project without her. We want wo complete the survey and have our class answer it. We also want to send it to India (and maybe Dubai) and post it on social media for many more people to see.
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.
The following informations we got from wikipedia and several online websites.
Animal welfare in the EU
Animal welfare in the EU is not controlled and not sanctioned. Animal welfare is a foreign word in many EU countries.
Outside of Switzerland, many countries rely on cheap, mass and surplus production. The animal welfare guidelines of the EU only cover individual aspects or animal categories.
There are no animal welfare guidelines in the EU for keeping cows, cattles, turkeys, ostriches, all types of poultry except chickens, sheep, goats and horses.
In many EU countries, there are hardly any inspections of husbandry systems and stable facilities. Farmers who do not comply face little to no sanctions. [1]
Transport
Millions of animals are transported across Europe every day, mainly by truck, sometimes even by ship overseas. Approximately 1.5 billion animals are being transported in Europe every year.
Since 1977 there is a law to protect the animals during the transport in the EU, but the animals are not really protected because this law doesn't set a time limit for the transport.
In addition, the statutory space requirements are too tight. The animals can hardly lie down to rest. [2]
Our project will end in an article.
We already made an audio sequence highlighting the goals and steps in advance of our project.
But now we will do a teaser video including the most important facts out of the interview to spark interest in the first place for our final article.
Last week we had an interview with two students from India.
We agreed that they will also do an interview with an athlete.
Now we will do the interview with our athletes and wait for their interview.
