My project is coming to an end. Now it was time to use all the information gained during the development of the project. Working with the Wordpress platform took a while at the beginning until I found my way around. However, it helped because it is structured in the same way as "The Horse". This means that after a short period of getting used to the system, you were able to find your way around. It is simple and clearly structured.
We had some dificulties with the presentation in wordpress but we managed to make it look clean. We had to rewrite a part of our interview because the formation was wrong. But in the end everything looked good and we published our work on https://dontwastemy.energy/2021/01/20/city-parks-and-their-impact-on-the-environment/
Today we continued with editing our post on dontwastemy.energy. We decided on our title picture and made some minor adjustments, so that our post is ready for publishing soon.

We both think that green roofs are an important topic nowadays because there are many benefits.
When we look back on our project, we think we did a good job. At the beginning we didn't know much about this topic, but now we are definitely well informed. As mentioned before, we got instructive information through the interviews. However, in the beginning we had some difficulties to divide the work in time, but we could manage it well. Next time we think it would be better if we organize everything better at the beginning.
On the whole, we would not be here where we are at the moment without our cooperation. And the most important thing is that we enjoyed doing this project. :)

At the beginning, we quickly decided which topic we would deal with. On the Internet we saw that greening on the roofs is a current topic.
Unfortunately, we did not find a collaboration partner, so we were not able to work with teams from other countries.
We came up with the idea to interview companies that deal with green roofs. We set up questions in German and sent them to four different companies. One of the companies is located in Germany. Fortunately, we received a prompt response from three different companies. First we had to translate the German version into English. With the knowledge of these companies we were able to put together a text that gave a lot of informative information about green roofs. Overall, we had to research almost nothing on the Internet, because these interviews were already very extensive.

In the beginning we had alot of ideas for the topic of our project but now we are happy with the chosen topic. It was a bit difficult to find some promising sources at first. But after a few researches, we found a detailed document of the Stadt Zürich which describes our topic really good. So we asked them if we could use it and made also an inquiry for an interview.
Another difficulty was to write the text in an easy and readable way and language. We needed to explain a few foreign words to make the text understandable.
Even without a collaboration, we think that our project has enough information.
In general it was a lot of fun to work on that project and to search some information for an important topic. We think we've learned alot with this type of work and we're satisfied with the final results.
We're looking forward to the publication.
Looking back on our project we think we did a great job. We chose a topic that interested us both yet it was a topic that we still got to learn a lot of new things about. Our Teamwork and communication worked flawless:)
We guess the hardest part was trying to come up with a concept on what our article/project should include because it is such a wide based topic.
Due to the coronavirus, an international collaboration could not take place yet instead we asked our close friends for their opinions and their experience. We also received the great opportunity to interview a managing director of a company that build tiny houses here in Switzerland.
We're very happy with the end result and we can't wait to share our post with many people worldwide.
Kind regards

Kerala depends on the neighbouring states for most of the resources including food items. The changing pattern of resource consumption in Kerala during the past 50 years has promoted the state as one among the top most consumer states of the nation.
We are unaware that Kerala is one of the biggest exporters of Britain. Now, we came to know that this is the time to save our earth.Youths are usually not interested in farming, mostly due to their perception of farming being antiquated and unprofitable. In a conference organized for youths, almost all the youth respondents are of the view that the main reason for repulsion from practicing farming is that farming is non – lucrative.

We asked someone from Kerala to do a collaboration with us. Unfortunately the interest was only on one side and the corona virus affected our chances on a collaboration, so we can't include another country in our project.
The Grün Stadt Zürich rejected us aswell at first. But after a few e-mails and some convincing, they agreed on an interview.
But overall our experiences are really good and we have many informations and sources for our topic. So we are confidently looking forward on doing our project.
