In the future, Cryptocurrencies will revolutionise entire economic sectors. In our project we want to take a closer look at the consequences this will have for the economy and the environment.
In particular we want to address the following issues:
- How does the Blockchain work and what makes it a Gamechanger?
- Which economic sectors will be revolutionised by the block chain?
- What consequences will the use of the technology have on the environment?
- Why does Facebook want its own crypto currency and what would its success mean?
- What impact do crypto currencies have on the banking system?
The following audio describes the project idea in more detail:

More detail to our project
In this post, I will explain my project in more detail and explain what I want to deal with in more detail. A pitch will follow as well.
I would like to deal with:
Why you should buy the products from a farm instead of from a mass producer? I will also explain why the products from abroad are cheaper and how we could solve this problem. Also what the qualitative difference is? Why buy regional and seasonal?
Is the foreign country cheaper also considering the energy consumption, transport, and environmental impact?
Maybe I can visit a mass company and discuss the difference with a farmer and compare their different opinions.
With my cooperation partner, I want to compare the differences in agriculture between different countries. For this purpose, I would also start a survey and ask students how important regional shopping is to them and other questions. I would be very curious about the result, how it would turn out in different countries.

Plants - the lungs of the earth
Plants are the lungs of the earth and of people. Without them we could not live and one could not imagine life on earth.
What would interest me:
How can you get people to cut down no trees or only a few?
What happens if we have too few trees in the world?
Are there alternatives?
Is it possible to produce oxygen in other ways without anyone suffering any damage?
Are there already signs that we have too little green space?
(in process)
I am interested in solar roof systems. how are they made, where are they produced and what do you need for the production?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of solar systems and how much do they cost?
How much electricity can you save with these systems and what can you use them for?
I would like to answer these and other questions in my project.
In the world, electricity is increasingly being generated by renewable energy sources such as wind, water or solar power.
I would be interested to find out more about heat pumps. I would be interested in the following:
- How efficient are heat pumps compared to other renewable energy sources and also compared to coal-fired or nuclear power plants?
- How environmentally friendly is the production and disposal of heat pumps?
- How exactly is electricity generated?
- Is it worthwhile to get your electricity through such heat pumps (comparison with the usual electricity costs)?
- How are heatpumps constructed?
- Lifetime
I want to use this post to promote a project that concerns us all. Plastic waste in the oceans and the conservation of the reefs. Even though we do not have a sea in Switzerland, we are also affected and responsible to preserve it for posterity.
There are so many different problems, if we think about the environment and there are big inventions, when it comes to technology.
- But how can we help?
- how can we reduce our water?
- what can we do to renew energy, save and use it again?
- are we locally using renewable energy? Or don’t? How can we change it?
- can we plants trees?
- saving water is such a good thing we don’t even realize how much water we use and waste.
all about how to live more ecofriendly and do Little things in our everyday life to improve our enviroment.
Agriculture
In this project, I would like to talk to our local farms and also take a closer look at why we need regional products and why they are important for the environment.
Maybe I can compare the different farms and regional products from different countries, with the help of cooperation partners.
Why does agriculture is important?
A survey on people, how they'd envision today, if certain things already had been achieved (e.g. We solved our energy and food problem)
The car industry is increasingly turning to electric vehicles. But do we have enough energy to meet this d
emand? It doesn't make much sense to try to reduce the CO2 balance by building electric vehicles, but the necessary energy is not available.
In order to get the energy we need, we could include many sustainable sources. Like for example: Wind turbines, hydroelectric power and solar panels.

Meat from species-appropriate husbandry is significantly more expensive than at discounters. The advantages to have meat from species-appropriate husbandry are that the animals are healthier, need less medicine and feel well. This also has a positive effect on the meat quality.
It is important to support the farms, which hold the animals species-appropriate. Meat from poor animal husbandry should not be supported.
Our idea is that meat is only sold directly from farms and that no more meat is imported from abroad. We will ask people where they get their meat from and what they pay attention to.
