Some of the commonly known medicinal plants/herbs are Holy basil ( Tulsi ), Ashwagandha, turmeric etc.
They are used to treat various health conditions like Arthritis, Digestive problems, Eczema. High blood pressure.
Some are also used as natural immunity boosters.
If you're a person who believes in natural and organic products then it is likely you have heard the word " Ayurveda " tossed around.
Ayurveda or Ayurvedic medicine ( the soul of Indian medicine )is a natural system of medicine, which originated in India about 3,000 years ago.
It is believed that several ayurvedic treatments that include medicinal herbs can even treat cancer!
The benefits of these magical herbs are priceless!

Our goal today for our project (18.11.2020)

Our goal is to find some sustainable companies in switzerland. We now want to make a list with all swiss sustainable companies. Afterwards we wanna take from all sectors (medicine, finance, production etc.) the best companies and make a investment suggestion. The diversity is important because if some sectors have a down, that the investor doesnt make too much loss in his pocket. With good diversity you have the balance of profit and loss.

Sustainability of the Belgian Food Bank Federation

Hello to anyone who reads this,

Even in a first world country such as Belgium poverty is still present, though not as prevalent as it may be in other countries. Because of this, there are many food banks present, all under one larger organization. I'm going to be looking into the fact if this is a sustainable organization. The first question is of course: where does this food come from? Most of the products gathered are products that could have been both imported or made here in Belgium. This already doesn't seem good.

There is however a large twist to this. These products aren't explicitly imported for the food banks, instead, they are products that would've been thrown into the trash otherwise. Thanks to this, they reduce waste by a large amount. However, they don't solely rely on wasted food, no. A large part, about a third, of their donations, are from the European food bank federation. This may cause some emissions due to it having to be transported to Belgium, but it's not nearly as far as it would be if it came from another continent.
