sweat money - news from Valeria and Gabriel

Diese Woche war endlich die Zeitpunkt gekommen, an dem wir (endlich) einen Kollaborationspartner gefunden haben.

Gabriel Sodré ist ein brasilianischer Profi-Surfer, der uns bei unserem Projekt unterstützt und uns wöchentliche seine Trainingsauswertung sendet. Ausser ihm hat sich Valeria bereitdazu erklärt, unserem Projekt beizutreten. Leider haben sich die Mitarbeiter aus dem "Uegos" nicht, wie erhofft, bei uns gemeldet. 

Unser Plan ist es nun, eine Mail an die Schülerinnen und Schüler der WKVW zu senden und hoffen, dass sich auf diesem Wege noch einige Sportler bei uns melden werden.

atomic energy - the impacts:

There are many people that say that atom energy is better for the climate than other energie sources. We looked up different articles about excactly this topic and came to the conclusion:

You can save a lot of co2 - output with atom energy with only the production of the energy but the problem is the whole build up around nuclear power plants that causes a lot of co2 emission. 

Another big impact on why our government tries to reduce the production of nuclear energy is the danger that comes with it.

How to save paper with today's technologie

It is shocking that around 300 000 000 000 trees get cut down every year, only for paper producing purposes. In that case it is important to reduce it.

In terms of the technological advances nowadays it is more and more easy to do excactly that - saving trees. We have electric devices like tablets, smartphones, laptops and so on. It is an investment that for sure but it is something thats worth it for the environment.

The seperation of waste

The seperation of waste is really important and also (in my opinion) actually easy to do.

Just think about all the waste you produce everyday. Do you seperate the ifferent types of waste? 

In Switzerland we have many possibilities to seperate our waste correctly and in an easy way. For example: I thought about the different trash-collectors at the train station. It should not matter for somebody to walk 20 meters and throw your trash away were it is more likely to be recycled afterwards than somewere else.
