How can we protect our rainforest?

The rainforest produces 40% of the oxygen, which we need to live.
That's why Jennifer and I wan't to inform use about solutions, how we could protect the plants from deforestation.

  • use less palm oil
  • eat less meat and milkproducts (go vegan!) 
  • don't buy and use wood from the rainforest
  • reduce the production of papier for work, school...

The Impact of Cryptocurriences

In the future, Cryptocurrencies will revolutionise entire economic sectors. In our project we want to take a closer look at the consequences this will have for the economy and the environment.

In particular we want to address the following issues:

  1. How does the Blockchain work and what makes it a Gamechanger?
  2. Which economic sectors will be revolutionised by the block chain?
  3. What consequences will the use of the technology have on the environment?
  4. Why does Facebook want its own crypto currency and what would its success mean?
  5. What impact do crypto currencies have on the banking system?

The following audio describes the project idea in more detail:

From the region for the region, why our agriculture is so important ?

More detail to our project

In this post, I will explain my project in more detail and explain what I want to deal with in more detail. A pitch will follow as well.

I would like to deal with:

Why you should buy the products from a farm instead of from a mass producer? I will also explain why the products from abroad are cheaper and how we could solve this problem. Also what the qualitative difference is? Why buy regional and seasonal?
Is the foreign country cheaper also considering the energy consumption, transport, and environmental impact?

Maybe I can visit a mass company and discuss the difference with a farmer and compare their different opinions.

With my cooperation partner, I want to compare the differences in agriculture between different countries. For this purpose, I would also start a survey and ask students how important regional shopping is to them and other questions. I would be very curious about the result, how it would turn out in different countries.
