Our goal was to enlighten the people on the subject of city parks and how they have a great impact on the world. We've learned a lot during the research and the progress of the project. We also were lucky, that we were able to work with the Grün Stadt Zürich and use their informations and documents.
Overall, it was a great project and we are looking forward to feedbacks on donstwastemy.energy.

Eating local - Post for Social Media

10. November 2020 Jennifer-Bilang Step 7 Promotion & Feedback, Social Media, Team Zurich M18a, IDAF20 (0)

(picture taken by us)

In "Technology & Environment" Jennifer Bilang and Carmen Rakeseder dealt with the topic "Local Food". On "The Horse" they have published a post about which vegetables and fruits you should plant when, and where you can plant it even if you life in a small flat in Zurich. They have also created a list with all the local food markets in zurich so you can buy the food that you can't plant by yourself.

Tips for promotion on Instagram by a last year's student

How to promote the projects on the official project account dontwaste_myenergy ☺️
https://www.instagram.com/dontwaste_myenergy/

(extract from The Horse 19/20, by Lars, former student of Team Wetzikon Zurich)

  1. Make one good post per week about your topic. Attention it is not about the quantity of mail but the quality is important. I recommend one to a maximum of three posts per week. I have made good progress with this amount of mail.
  2. Follow other people or organizations with the same or similar topics.
  3. Like and comments other mail. This is the only way to show that you are active and interested. But when commenting it is important that you do not just send an emoji. Try to give a constructive feedback with your own opinion and experience.
  4. Things also moved quickly when I wrote to complete strangers to help me promote my account. I noticed that it is not worthwhile to write to organizations with more than 1000 followers. With these organizations you usually don't get an answer. Try to write to people with the same or similar number of followers.
  5. Do in return on point 5 on promotion on your account. Mark people in your mail, make meaningful stories about other people's accounts etc.
  6. As the most important and last tip I give you on the way: be creative and have fun with what you do!

I hope that with these tips you will quickly reach a large crowd of people worldwide.

Social Media Post

3. November 2020 Nils-Ackermann E cars in cities, Step 7 Promotion & Feedback, Social Media, Team Zurich M18a, IDAF20 (0)

 The aim of our project is to find out whether in a city like Zürich it would be possible to use electric cars only. 
In the course of a self-experiment we hope to find out how electric-car-friendly the city of Zurich is today. With an interview we also want to learn more about the plans that the Zürich city council has regarding the electrification of its urban car traffic.

Step 7: Communication of experience

3. November 2020 Tamara-Hess Diseases of city trees, Step 7 Promotion & Feedback, Social Media, Communication, Team Zurich M18a, IDAF20 (0)

How will the trees of the big concrete jungles be threatened in the future?
The health of our trees reflects the health of mankind. The threats are growing, so WE must act NOW!

In the city of Zurich there are several tree diseases with different causes, effects and appearance. Not every tree is healthy just because it looks normal on the outside. It is not easy to find out which trees are sick and which are not, but it is very important that sick trees are felled. After all, as everyone knows, diseases spread very quickly and can cause great damage to the trees, as well as harm people.
Foreign plants that are invasive, which means that they spread too quickly and too much, are also a great risk for the city of Zurich and for Switzerland itself. These plants are harmful to the environment because they do not belong there and if they spread so fast, they destroy plants that belong to the Swiss environment.

There is a lot to read about this topic, so stay tuned!
