Cycling for a better environment

23. October 2020 Jana-Leuenberger Cycling, Team Zurich M18a, IDAF20 (2)
The project idea we had in mind has to do with using bicycles to get around and how we could use more bicycles for transportation instead of cars. We think it is pretty clear that getting around with bicycles is way more economical than using a car, but of course there are still some questions that need to be answered.
  • How can we turn the idea into a project or better said into reality?
  • Are there already similar projects anywhere? 
  • What does it need for this project to succeed?
  • Renting bicycles or using your own?
Those are some of the questions we want to answer while working on this project. The reason why we chose this project is, that we think that this topic is going to be more and more something that many cities / countries see as an important step to reduce air pollution and it is also a very easy way to help our environment. The effort isn’t as big as the final earning we'll get.

Bringing the reefs back to life

22. September 2020 Jana-Leuenberger Cycling, Project Ideas, Team Zurich M18a (1)

In the last three decades, half of the world's coral reefs have died and if we don't act now those oceans 

treasures will be completely gone by 2050. It would be the destruction of an entire ecosystem, and with it, ourselves. That is why Naomi and I thought it is important to do something against this threatening thing that happens with these reefs! There is a group of people that started to replant reefs, that fell off in the ocean to ensure the survival of them.  

 

 We want to find out more about this project and how they proceed. How does the replanting work? Does it  make a difference or is it all for nothing? How much time will it take to replant enough reefs to ensure their survival and with it ours?
