Our project idea - cheap clothes production and transport

Livia and I thought, that it would be interesting to know how the clothes in India are produced and how bad the transport to the markets in Switzerland is for our environment. Is there an eco-friendlier way to transport the clothes? Why don't we produce the clothes only in Switzerland instead of abroad?

We'd like to collabrate with some students form India to find out more about the clothes production there. We also would like to get in contact with some clothes stores in Switzerland and try to find out from which country they get/import their clothes.

Brainstorming Anthroprocene

I saw the docu "Anthroprocene" for the first time. A docu about the changing of environment during the past until today. It also contents predictions about the future. A truth docu with contents from worldwide, shows conflicts of every single human, but also political conflicts. Everywhere where conflicts appears, the politics wants to solve the problems. But this is not easy, and needs much time. Time that we haven't.

Can nuclear power plants evolve?

After the second worldwar in 1945, nuclear power plants were called "the future", "save energy" or "the savior for the envirement". The idea behind the nuclear power was that the mankind could use it as a unlimited power source without the disadvantages of other power sources. Is it possible to performe a "second version" which is safer, that our current models? I saw many informing articles in which a new kind of nuclear power plant is currently in developement. The location of the project is in Texas, USA if I remeber correctly. I think this is really a interessting way of getting much energy because the new powerplants would be safe from human errors, which caused the biggest known accidents in the history of nuclear energy. There are only humans who work for the necessary stuff like controlling the rest is getting handled by an AI (artificial inteligence) which is really interessting.

My brainstorm regarding the video Anthropocene

  • Gibt es weniger Tote durch Luftverschmutzung seit Corona auf Grund der Mundmaske?
  • Was hat es für Folgen für die Menschheit, wenn die Regenwälder/Wälder immer weiter abgeholzt und zerstört werden?
  • Wird es irgendwann kein Erdöl mehr im Boden geben?
  • Was hat es für Folgen, wenn die Gletscher immer weiter schmelzen?
  • Ist es möglich, dass es aufgrund der Luftverschmutzung, Erderwärmung, etc. in mehreren Millionen Jahren keine Lebewesen mehr auf der Erde gibt?

My first post - What am I interested in?

What am I interested in?

I am interested in renewable energy resources. For example; water, the sun, wind and probably so many more. I would like to research this topic further in a project. Especially what kinds of renewable resources Switzerland is currently using and how it is planning to update it in the future.
