The Tiny House Movement is an architectural and social movement that advocates a simple life in small houses. This movement requires financial prudence, economic security, shared community experiences and a change in consumerist thinking.
Lets talk about the advantages and disadvantages for the environment.
Sunlight can provide energy, given the right installations and technologies.
If we invest more in Solar installations we have a constant energy source and we can reduce using fossil fuels or other rare, valuable ressources. Sources like oils, fuels or other eco unfreindly
Sunlight is basically free so the only high costs will be the installation and maintenance of the solar platforms. If big factories or companies should invest in these technologies, since they can easily run their production plants with it. There would be a way of storaging the energy for rainy or cloudy days.
We could start with wind or water energy as well. But since it is getting warmer and warmer in summer and people keep complaining about the heat, we might aswell use the sun to give us some advantages. But of course, water and wind are a crucial energy source as well.
What do you think about robots taking over operations in hospitals?
Artificial intelligence, wearable sensors, virtual reality and medical robots are technologies which are completely changing the way people thing and act about healthcare. Digital health tools could also help identify new illnesses or the worsening of existing ones. Digital health tools could help shorten the length of a disease, or help ease symptoms before they really take hold.

Our Project Idea
In this project we would like to know more about our future. For example some new technologies or solutions for the climate change.
We are very curious how our world will look like in a couple decades with everything that it includes. From public transportation to our smartphones and even the way we communicate with each other.
We are specially interested in the future of our car industry. Are there still cars with old-fashioned combustion engines? Are there only electric cars on our streets? Do we even have cars in the future and if yes are we still driving them by ourselves?
In this project we would also like to make some interviews with experts.

If the super volcano under Yellowstone National Park ever has another massive eruption, it could spew ash, damage buildings, choke crops and shut down power plants for thousands of miles across the United States.
How would this affect our environment and our lives?
Comparison between North America and the rest of the world.
I have tried to contact some friends of mine in Istanbul for a connection. Unfortunately they have no time at the moment because their vacation ended now and they have started with the school year where they have to prepare themselves for their exams. They are too busy right now to make a collaboration.
Don't we all use a mobile phone? And who still opens their car manually with the key? Digitalisation is advancing. Imagine that one day a robot will do the work for you and you could enjoy the whole day.
- Is our local water environment polluted?
- Are there organizations that clean rivers, lakes and oceans?
[in progress]
One of our ideas is to plant trees, because we think to many of them get cut down.
Another one is the use of palm oil, where we wanna show what the consequences are.
One idea I prefer, is the rights of animals since I'm vegan. I just wanna show how bad animals are treated no matter where... For example in zoos, I think that's one of the worst places animals have to life. A
- animal rights, how they live (zoos)
- food we eat
