Environment & Technology

REMINDER -=>Categories are the bones of The Horse

Exciting projects in the context of city climate & city trees are in development or "growing"; each project team as well as all collaboration teams get their own category. Here you collect all material, text, media, etc. for sharing with others and later for your publication on the website dontwastemy.energy.

The journey of discovery is underway!

Cycling for a better environment

Cycling is something that most people are able to do. Most people are able to ride a bike from a very young age and most of us aren’t too bad at it. So why not do it more often? It’s not just good for your health, but also for our environment. That is why we want to start this project and encourage people to use there bikes more often. We want to start with building new paths, new options for your bike tours and more options for your safety on the streets. Start now and help us to turn our idea into a project.

Concept and time plan – cycling for a better environment

Concept:

Our concept is to pretty much cooperate with different people of our hometown, because this is going to be one of the main points of our project. We want to do surveys with pedestrians and also talk with our parrish. We want to compare the surveys we do with the articles we find about our project idea on the internet.

Time plan (still in progress)

Cycling for a better environment

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

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?
