Step 1: Imagination / Good climate through greenery on the building

What is our goal and how can it be achieved?

What exactly is the effect that our group wants to trigger with our action?
We want to show people that green houses are a service to our urban environment. Leaves and branches act as natural dust filters for the city air. Green roofs are therefore a real contribution to ecological building. People should not underestimate this.

By which methods / tools should this effect be achieved?
We would like to get more information on this topic by interviewing people who already have experience with greening roofs. We also want to prepare ourselves for the topic with internet research.

With which strategy should this effect be achieved?

We would like to pass on the knowledge we gain through interviews and research to the population, especially to companies. It should encourage them to More...

How transport affects the environment

Raw materials are transported by tanker, container ship, freight train or pipeline from the extraction site to the processing and production facilities. Finally, the finished products travel to consumers and, at the end of their useful life, to the place of disposal or recycling. A product and its components travel thousands of kilometers across continents and oceans.

Means of transport

Virtual Reality / Augmented Reality / Mixed Reality - Project Idea

With Mixed Reality (MR), you can play a virtual video game, grab your real world water bottle, and smack an imaginary character from the game with the bottle. Imagination and reality have never been so brought together.
