I hope that I can show with this project if it would be economically and ecologically beneficial to switch to an electric car.
The many repair costs, road taxes, service intervals and the high gasoline prices make driving an expensive "fun". I think with an electric car you will be noticeably cheaper on the road today even though the purchase price is high.
But I can't say if the electric car is really more ecological. I think it is extremely depending on the duration of use and the place where you use it (in which country).

Education that vegetarian / vegan is not necessarily environmentally friendly. Differences between the two life stems. Show which labels are environmentally friendly.
Teams: Celia Kaegi & Alina Zimmermann

Interview Questions
-

2.) Do you know the difference between the tow?
3.) Do you pay attention to eating vegetarien / vegan?
4.) How common is veganism / vegetarism in Korea?
5.) Do you have have vegetarian / vegan produkts in Korea?
6.) Would you trie to go vegatarien or vegan for 1 week? Why?/Why not? Wich?
7.) Do you pay attention to labels (for example Bio) when posting?
8.) Do you have in Korea many diffeerent labels?
9.) Do you know their meanings?
Strategy: Zuerst gründliche Informationsbeschaffung, sowie Personen suche für Interviews und Umfrage erstellen. Danach die Informationen auswerten. Zum Schluss einen Post gestalten.
Finally, design a post.
Audience: Vegans / vegetarians and people interested in this topic

How will you build a collaboration team across borders & cultures? With whom?
Our idea was to make a survey in Izmir to find out how the enviromental pollution in Turkey is and how big their knowledge about enviroment is. To compare it to Switzerland we also send the survey to students at our school.
After that we plan to do a collaboration project with students from Izmir.
Last summer in Turkey were many forest fires and because of that we want to plant some trees over there.
Our goal that we want to reach is to plant at least 10 trees in Ismir 10 trees in Wetzikon in spring.
Firstly we created a mindmap to manifest our project idea:
Our next step is to do a short audio-visual presentation.
We'll keep you updated.
Nutrition or food consumed in Switzerland
- Processed products and their production (harvest - product in Migros)
- Unhealthy diet
- Sugar (Thematize how many everyday foods contain sugar)
- Additives (chemistry)
- A self-experiment (giving up sugar) is carried out with the collaboration partners. They tell us about their experiences with sugar in their culture.
Eating Habits
Leara and me would like to find out what packaging alltetnative we have to plastic and how we could produce them.
Then we want to try and produce some here at our school with the help of some other classes. After that we would like to give halfe of the produced packaging products to a village shop nearby and send the other halfe to a shop in Kerala. Then we would like to see how many people would use this products, and if it prevent the waste of plastic
Question:
This is what would happen if we all stopped eating meat immediately?
Introduction
Our food accounts for one third of the environmental impact of consumption in Europe. Production accounts for the lion's share: packaging, transport, storage, preparation and disposal are generally much less significant. Animal husbandry is particularly harmful to the environment: it is very resource-intensive and causes significantly more greenhouse gas emissions than the cultivation of plant-based foods
Topics:
- Our world now with meat consumption
- Effect on our health without it
- Impact on our life togehter
- How does it change nature
What are the two guiding questions of my project?
Could the world function without meat consumption and would our society be willing to do so?

Effect/impact?
I want to make people aware of what a big impact we humans have on the world. This project is intended to give a deeper insight into how the world would develop without any human influence. What would happen to the houses/cars/streets/animals?
Methods/techniques/tools?
- Survey with the students
- Research on the Internet
- Documentation on Youtube
- Interviews with experts, if possible
What are the required steps for achieving the effect?
By interviewing different people and the surveys of students my project should get a good balance. This project should stimulate the readers to think and eventually some will begin to live more consciously and become aware of what people have done to the world.
Audience?
Teenagers as well as adults
Topic: Artificial Intelligence

- Die Auswirkungen/ Vorteile / Mögliche Gefahren von AI ermitteln
Hauptaspekte --> Medizin, Bildung, Marketing/Finanzen, Agrarbewegung
Mit welchen Mitteln soll diese Wirkung erzielt werden? (methods/techniques/tools?)
Recherche von diversen Quellen
- Podcast Diskussion über AI
Wie (mit welcher Strategie) soll diese Wirkung erzielt werden? (What are the required steps for achieving the effect?)
Eine sorgfältige Recherche von Quellen, bereits geführten Interviews mit Persönlichkeiten wie z.B. Elon Musk, Marc Zurckerberg… ect. Auswerten und Erkenntnisse reflektieren.
Wer ist das Zielpublikum? (audience?)
- Eine Informatik / Wirtschaftlich interessierte Zielgruppe
What exactly is the effect that the group wants to trigger with its action?
Electric cars are considered by society to be enormously environmentally friendly and energy efficient.
But we set out to find out whether this is really true or whether a conventional combustion engine is not so bad after all.
What are the means by which the intended effect is to be achieved?
Through research and a specialist, we will investigate this question and come to a conclusion with confidence. A work colleague works in the car industry and can give us even more details about electric cars
How is this effect to be achieved?
- A few questions might be:
How harmful to the environment is the production compared to a gasoline engine?
How does it compare in use?
We also want to make comparisons with diagrams
Who is the target audience?
Our project is open to all. We also want to address especially people who have not thought much about the impact of cars on the environment until now.

Project: Reducing plastic waste
Team: Angela Diljak & Liranda Kurtesi
Effects:
We want people to realize how much plastic waste is created during the day and that it effects us negatively.
Methods:
We want to inform people on how much plastic is used for ready-made foods and how all of the plastic effects our environment. Also we're going to make an effort to reduce our personal use of it to set a good example.
Strategy:
We're going to research how many greenhouse gases are created for the production of plastic packaging, then we're going to write a report on how that effects our environment. After that we're going to monitor how much waste we create ourselves and try to find ways to reduce that amount. We might do a survey to see how many people buy wrapped food to see how bad the situation really is.
Audience:
Students and working people that tend to eat out a lot. But really anyone is welcome to read our article.
