C-Project Task 7: Communication

We had a meeting earlier this week and we phoned our good friend ( Pacharadanai ) to discuss how to bring the survey among the people, especially the foreigners. 

If nothing comes up, we decided to publish the survey next Friday, 13th of January 2022.

We also had a second meeting alone and discussed the possible outcomes of the survey. We want to do the researches next, after evaluating the surveys.

Imagination and Vision

Imagine the wold without fast fashion...

 
 
Isn't it interesting to understand how fast fashion works? When did people start to care about this?
 
I believe that fast fashion consumers are mostly youngsters who follow trends. Trends which are made from celebrities. Without those celebrities fast fashion couldn't exist.

Project Start

In the following we answered the questions and drew the steps how to start. We chose to not draw a Mindmaps but the different steps. 

1. What do we need?

2. What are the important questions?

3. What are the advantages of an international collaboration project?

4. What difficulties could arise? 

5. What are the chances?

6. How can you get connected and involved?

6. How can you become a team? More...

How does the meat industry affect the environment?

Meat production requires too much arable land. No other consumer good in the world requires as much land as the production of meat and dairy products.Two-thirds of it is pasture, one-third is needed to grow feed for the animals, which could be better used to grow crops and grains for direct human consumption. Another big problem is that animals, especially cattle, produce a lot of methane, which has a much stronger greenhouse gas effect than CO2.

So what can we do? 

Eat less meat and focus more on organic products. Sustainability is the key!

Seaspiracy

Seaspiracy is a documentary concerning fishing's environmental impact.

The hardest part about "Seaspiracy" are the horrific and heartbreaking pictures which give a insight into reality. They show how dolphins are slaughtered in Japan, whales are hunted in Denmark, sharks have their fins cut off,... the list goes on. 

 

In "Seaspiracy," everyone who believes that plastic, such as straws, is the greatest threat to the oceans will be proven wrong. Fishing, on the other hand, is even riskier. More...

Is zero waste possible?

The average American person produces about 2 Kg trash per day. Terrible for the environment, convenient for your all-day life.

Though, is there a any way to reduce the trash of a person to 0 waste? Probably it is, but to achieve zero waste you are going to give up a lot of comfort.

First of all you'll have to live "off-the-grid" (=Netzunabhängig). Also to reuse almost everything will be a must do. Furthermore you will live from rainwater, only drive with the bike or walk, plant vegetables yourself, and use solar panels. There is even more stuff! 

To sum up, theoretically it is possible, but in reality it will fail for most of us, since we are depending on our current lifestyle.
