Bottle Bricks - Social Media Post

Do you want to produce less plastic waste? We‘ve got you covered. Welcome to our exciting project about Ecobricks. We‘re collecting our everyday plastic waste and put it all into a plastic bottle. Like this we can measure our waste and try to reduce it. Ecobricks can be used to build houses for people in 3rd world countries.🄤 

Update: Team-composition status ski-resort team

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.

Update:

Unfortunately, we have no other interested parties so far. We continue to work and hope to awaken the interest of the collaborators.

Team Composition

 

The original team composition is Inês & Alisha.

 

We created a mindmap and added it to the mural.

We already had a first call in class with the students from India, where we presented our project,

but no one has shown interest. Due to this we haven't had any further interaction with the students from india.

 

The idea of asking Aleksandra Stühff, Deputy Head of Department Economy at NZZ, came to us.

Alisha will be working on contacting her, because she also work for NZZ.

Update: bottle bricks

Our Team (Switzerland): Alicia, Leonie, Luana

Status: Still in progress

Unfortunately, no partners from India are interested in our project. Therefore, no communication tools were used and no meeting has been held.

 

We carry on with our project ourselves and are curious about our results.

We are currently collecting our plastic waste to fill up a water bottle.

Status of team composition

Unfortunately, we couldn't find any collaboration partners yet. We will continue to work on our project like our plan. Maybe we will find a collaboration partner afterwards. 

We already visited a local farm and talk with the farmer about the animal welfare. He showed us the farm, the animals and the land. We plan on interviewing an expert from an animal welfare organisation.
