Have you ever wondered how much plastic waste you produce while shopping? We made a self experiment and some people from different countries joined. Interested to find out more?

I sent an email to the administration of our house to ask what kind of heating we have and where the boiler room is located. Unfortunately, I have not received an answer yet. I will add to the post after I hear back from you.

Hi everyone!
We are doing a project about plasticwaste while shopping. It's an everyday topic but many do not realize this. So we want to make humanity aware of what could be changed with only very less effort. We would be very thankful, if you could fill out our survey: https://ee.humanitarianresponse.info/x/CnaYMccC .
Tank you so much!
So far we made the experience of setting way too high goals. First we wanted to stich all the cotton bags ourselves, which is simply not possible. It would require too much time and would be very expensive to buy the cotton.
Also we are not yet sure, how we should bring our products to the families in the countries.

"The new iPhone has been released, I no longer need my old one!"
This days, too many goods are simply thrown away, even though they are still in perfect condition. Just because it's no longer the latest thing, people don't want it and don't consider the ecological consequences. This is called a linear economy. Raw materials are mined/collected/produced, a product is made from it, then it is packaged, sold, used and finally ends up in the rubbish.
The idea of a circular economy is becoming more and more lucrative. The idea is to reuse existing products and not simply dispose of them. For example, with maintenance, repairs or recycling.
The figure below shows the linear economy (red) and the goal of the circular economy (green).
Vocabulary:
circular economy -> Kreislaufwirtschaft
recycle -> rezyklieren
remanufacture -> wiederherstellen
refurbish -> restaurieren
redistribute -> umverteilen
reuse -> wiederverwenden
maintain -> instand halten
discard -> wegwerfen
landfill -> Deponie
Eco Design has a lot to do with this topic also look at that post :)
Kreislaufwirtschaft
"Das neue iPhone wurde released, mein altes benötige ich nicht mehr!"
In der heutigen Zeit werden noch zu viele Güter einfach weggeworfen, obwohl sie noch einwandfrei sind. Nur weil es nicht mehr das Neuste ist will man es nicht mehr und beachtet die ökologischen Folgen nicht. Dies nennt man Lineare Wirtschaft. Rohstoffe werden abgebaut/gesammelt/erstellt, daraus fabriziert man ein Produkt, anschliessend wird es verpackt, verkauft, benutzt und landet zum Schluss im Müll.
Die Idee von einer Kreislaufwirtschaft wird immer lukrativer. Die Idee ist, die bereits bestehenden Produkte wiederzuverwenden und nicht einfach zu entsorgen. Zum Beispiel mit Instandhaltung, Reparaturen oder Rezyklieren.
Die Obige Abbildung zeigt die Linearwirtschaft (rot) und das Ziel der Kreislaufwirtschaft (grün).
