Today we want to finish our interview for Jasmine and find a date to do it with her.
We will ask people from Switzerland of different ages for their opinion in comparison and when we are finished with that we will get to know vimeo.

Kim is sick today, so I am working alone. My goal is basically to do some research. I want to come as far as possible and build a slight structure of the project.
If possible I'd like to let the class fill out our Survey, so we can publish the surveys for the next time. Afterwards I'll tell Kim about everything I did, so that she will be updated on our next meeting.

Names of the members of the collaboration team:
Team from Switzerland I: Dilara
Team from Switzerland II: acquaintance of mine who studies natural science
Team from Switzerland III: Family and survey friends
Our research question:
Main question: What would the world look like without humans?
Refined questions:
What influences do we humans have in the environment?
How has the world changed so far because of us (positive/negative)?
How would the first days/months/years look like without us humans?
What would happen to the animals?
What would happen to the houses and cars?
Is it possible that one day humanity really will become extinct?
Goal: The project should show many different aspects so that the work does not become too dull. The main goal is to show answers to the above questions. In addition, this work should draw the attention of many to the huge influence that we humans can actually have and how powerful nature can be.
Idea
Our consumer behavior and the lifestyle of the Western world are becoming a test for the environment. And Switzerland has its part to play in this - both at home and abroad. Less and less of what we consume is produced locally, and more and more is imported. At the same time, Switzerland exports more goods abroad. Products are manufactured, transported, consumed and finally disposed of in a globally organized manner. This uses up natural resources worldwide and pollutes the environment.
Why I think this topic is important
No matter what products we buy, our consumption has consequences for the environment. Exactly which consequences can vary widely. But overall, our consumption behavior is becoming a test of endurance for the environment. Both Germany and many other regions around the world are affected. This is because the manufacture of many products is organized globally.
For example, our consumer behavior affects the emission of greenhouse gases.

In Q3 2021, private consumer spending in Switzerland was estimated at around 94.7 billion Swiss francs, up on the figure for the prior-year quarter.
Private consumer spending includes spending by private households and spending by non-profit institutions serving households. Due to Corona, consumption was significantly higher.
My friend Alicia, who studies natural sciences, will ask her professor about further aspects which could concern my topic (unpredictable mutations in the animal world, nuclear power plant etc.).
