Deceitful, manipulative, persuasive or informative? However you perceive it, visual propaganda has been used to change the way the world thinks and behaves for thousands of years.
These days, thanks to a history of being used to drive harmful or discriminatory messages, propaganda generally carries a negative connotation. In this work we will compare the kind of propaganda in the book 1984 by George Orwell with today's situation and how it could look like in the year 2084 with the topic propaganda.
It is important to always question the information you receive. You should always form your own opinion and we show you why.

Our house is heated with woodchip heating. The water is stored in a 5000 litre boiler. Unfortunately, I don't know exactly how much energy the heating needs and what our family needs in a year.
Each morning you stand up, eat breakfast and take a shower. Before you go into the bathroom, you turn the light on and after showering you plug in the hair dryer.
The light bulb has an power of 12 ampere and the hair dryer uses 2'200 Watt, both the light and the hair dryer have been on for 10 minutes.
How many kWh have you consumed by drying your hair while the light was turned on?

We have completed an interview with a farmer in Kerala. After a good study of the topic made us feel that we should promote Organic Farming.
Kerala depends on the neighbouring states for most of the resources including food items. The changing pattern of resource consumption in Kerala during the past 50 years has promoted the state as one among the top most consumer states of the nation.
We shall do our best to mould our men to lead a healthy life.

About the survey:
With our collected information about urban gardening, we created a survey. 80 percent of the respondents already knew what urban gardening is and support it. Unfortunately, only a small part of the respondents have their own garden or a small bed on the balcony. In summary, we can say that most of them are exaggerated that urban gardening has a positive impact on our climate.
The Interview:
We conducted an interview with Mr Eberle. He told us about his connection to urban gardening and how he came across it. We will publish the interview soon on the website "don't waste my energy".

Urban Gardening is the horticulture in cities, which is mostly small-scale. Typical examples in the city are courtyard and roof gardens. Urban Gardening has always existed, but the importance of this horticultural use of urban areas is growing. It's about sustainability, about the vegetables on your doorstep, also about cost reduction and last but not least about the important ecological aspects.
We want to teach our class members and other interested people how exactly such a garden works. On the internet you can read a lot about urban garding. During our project work we could perhaps interview a landscape gardener and learn more about the cultivation. We want to publish this information in order to motivate as many people as possible to run such an ecological garden.

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.
I've never dealt with this topic before. I'm convinced that there will be many more battery-operated cars on the road in five to ten years.
