I did a social media post for my littering contribution:
In 1991, Switzerland became one of the first countries in the world to implement an e-waste recycling system, in which the disposal price is paid in advance when a product is acquired. All trash electrical and electronic equipment can now be dropped off for free at collection and sales points, where it will be professionally and environmentally friendly disposed of.
Other countries have followed suit to some extent, but the United Nations Environment Programme estimates that up to 90% of the world's e-waste is illegally transferred. WEEE is increasingly being imported from developed countries, particularly to Asia and Africa, and is frequently misdeclared. More...
Did you know that one kilowatt-hour can vacuum for approximately one hour at medium speed (1,000-watt vacuum cleaner), drive an electric car for approximately 6.7 kilometers (with an average energy consumption of 15 kWh per 100 km), or light an energy-saving bulb for up to 90 hours? But, exactly, what do we mean by this energy unit?
A kilowatt hour (kWh) is the amount of energy consumed or emitted in one hour by a 1,000-watt electrical item (e.g., a machine, a person, or a light bulb). This unit of measurement is used to bill both electricity and heat costs.
How is a kilowatt hour calculated?
Power (watts) x time (hours) = power consumption in watt-hours (Wh), this divided by 1000 = consumption in kWh (kilowatt-hours)
Example:
How much does a 60 watt light bulb that burns for six hours consume?
60 watt light bulb x 6 hours of operation = 360 Wh : 1000 = 0.360 kWh
In my house hold the laptop is the device which use the most kwh. My parents and my sister use it and I use it too, but i use also my playstation 4, which use also kwh.
To better comprehend the nature of soils and their behavior, we must first understand their properties, as well as be familiar with some of the popular phrases used when discussing soils.
Soil type determines how a soil operates and how suitable it is for various applications. You've probably heard of soil types like silty, clay, loam and sandy loam and wondered what they meant. More...
Our Home has a floor heating source. A surface heating system with pipes on the floor is known as underfloor heating. When hot heating water circulates through the system, thermal energy is released, and the screed in the underfloor heating structure is first heated. The heat then rises into the room through the screed.
The heating surfaces are one of the technology's advantages. Because these are substantially larger than traditional radiators, a lower heating water temperature is sufficient. This allows for more efficient use of renewable energy sources like heat pumps and solar heating, as well as lower heat distribution losses.
When it comes to installing underfloor heating, there are two types of installations: dry and wet. In the dry installation, the heating pipes are close to the surface; in the wet installation, they are hidden beneath a screed layer. A few things must be kept in mind in order for the underfloor heating to work effectively. It's crucial to get the job done right the first time.
This consists of:
an insulating underlay
a support system for the heating pipes
the heating pipes themselves
the heating screed as a heat storage and distribution layer
Targeted heat dissipation is ensured through insulation.
Insulation is the initial layer of the underfloor heating system's structure. This stops the heat from being transferred to neighboring rooms. It is commonly found on the unfinished floor and can be augmented with basement ceiling insulation above unheated areas. A waterproof foil is often used under the insulation to protect the unfinished floor. The insulation thickness is determined by the type of room below. A coating of roughly 30 millimetres (WLG 035) is sufficient if the space is heated. If there is soil or an unheated room beneath the underfloor heating, the same thermal conductivity group requires 45 millimetres.
For the point "Chemical Cleaning" we will have the following concept:
1. Putting in pictures
2. Describing the process of "Chemical Cleaning" and what "Phosphate" is
3. Find a conclusion
4. Do a presentation with a surprise

The Werdhölzli sewage treatment plant, also known as ARA Zürich-Werdhölzli, is the sewage treatment plant for the city of Zurich. With a population equivalent of 670,000 people, it is the largest sewage treatment plant in Switzerland. In addition to the city's wastewater, it also treats wastewater from the municipalities of Zollikon, Wallisellen and Kilchberg, as well as a partial amount from the municipalities of Adliswil, Rümlang and Zumikon. The plant is operated by Entsorgung + Recycling Zürich.
Located in: Bändlistrasse 108, 8064 Zürich

Susana and I had researched and found an article about global warming:
What is global warming?
Since the Industrial Revolution, the global annual temperature has increased in total by a little more than 1 degree Celsius, or about 2 degrees Fahrenheit. Between 1880—the year that accurate recordkeeping began—and 1980, it rose on average by 0.07 degrees Celsius (0.13 degrees Fahrenheit) every 10 years. Since 1981, More...
I wrote my Assignment into english and now I am waiting to publish it soon.
Projekt Littering EN.docx (419,06 kb)
So what have I done in my first semester for my project
I tried to colloborate with Students from India. First it started well, but because of Corona, they had a lockdown and suddendly I could not make a colloboration.
I also have a colloboration with students from Basque Land, but they have summer holidays, and the communication didnt go well at the end, because I was in the Army for 3 weeks. I couldn't make anything for the project.
I made surveys by my own on the streets of Zurich. The people who I had interviewed were really interested and said i am doing a good job.
But why haven't you not seen any results? All the steps above need a lot of time. And I didnt work much with the horse and OneNote.
I hope its a good understandable update and if there are any questions just ask me
