Sustainable construction - C2C projects: Houses as material storage
C2C - this abbreviation stands for Cradle to Cradle. Translated, it means: from the cradle to the cradle. In the construction industry, C2C projects stand for resource and climate protection. The vision of this sustainable building style is to create a waste-free economy. This is because all the products used are designed in such a way that they are either biodegradable or recyclable by type after use.

Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
lichens are pollution indicators
Lichens are pollution indicators. We are doing a project on city pollution, where the presence of lichens indicate a pollution-free environment. So we have decided to go on with the research on how much polluted our city's are.
Today I want to translate the survey into English and circulate it further to get as many answers as possible.
I am also starting to finalise the project.
[in progress]
We have compiled some interview questions and sent them to four companies. From three, we received an answer.
Enclosed you will find the answers in German and English:

I have created a survey on city traffic. I ask you to answer it.
And Survey maybe tell me what I can do even better. Thank you very much for your cooperation.
Survey
Today we read through some posts on dontwastemy.energy, to get some ideas on how we should write our own content. Our goal is to publish our work and ideas on the website and receive some positive feedback. Furthermore we want to bring all our research on one page and make it as understandable as possible.
Apart from that there will not be an informative post today, since we did not really do anymore research on our topic. Nevertheless we will continue our research next week and hopefully be able to publish some new facts, figures and diagramms.
Sincerely
Chiara & Tonia
