This project will be based mostly on documentaries that can be found on Youtube. I already know that there will be no final answer to the question of what the world would look like without us humans. After all, we speculate a lot and how it would actually look, it will only be known if it comes so far that no humans are left in the world.
However, in the context of this project, the individual processes, how the world would look like without us, will be described in more detail. That means, the project will show how it would look like in the first days, in the first weeks and in the first years.
With a planned survey the young people as well as to the old ones are supposed to think about what a big influence we humans have in fact, which animals have already died due to us and whether the future brings something good with it. This evaluation will be a part of this project.
My vision of our project is that I know more about the corona situation in Cuba. I want to know how it is to live in Cuba while Corona. What can they do, what measures do they have, what do they think of the measures and so on.
My imagination of our project is that in Cuba the situation is much harder then in switzerland. I can imagine that the government of Cuba do more strict measures than the government of switzerland. But I think not only the measures are harder than in switzerland. Also the living situation is much harder. To get food, to get necessary things for live, to meet friends, to go out and so on.
Vision
I think in the future it would be bad to travel if we don't take enough care to our environment. If we don't take action now, our future doesn't look really bright when you believe in the statistics which were made by scientists. But everybody wants a future where the children can grow up safely. We have to start now because it's too late if we start in 10 years.
Imagination
My imagination is, that there is a world where you can travel sustainable and don't use plastic anymore which is extremly bad for the environment. The aim in the near future is, that plastic waste will be reduced to a minimum so that we don't see so much waste in the nature.
I think in the future a Vegan or Vegetarian lifestyle is going to gain in popularity even more. We can't deny the fact that the trend is increasing more and more. People are getting more mindful when it comes to our nutrition. They are paying more attention on the labels and if it is good for the environment. Since our nutrition has a big impact on the environment I think it's important that a change is made. Companies should improve the way their food is produced. And I think that is what's going to happen in the near future.
For our project we get in touch with a Canadian person. We might see how she lives in Canada. More...
My Vision:
I think sustainable tourism will be more and more important in the future. We have to take care of our environment, otherwise travelling is no longer possible.
The current problem lies in the higher prices. The hotels that are sustainable are usually associated with higher prices. This discourages tourists, as the need is usually for the lowest possible prices.
Imagination:
I can imagine that the trend of sustainable travel can be spread through influencers and social media to attract more customers.
Research:
The interview with Kallaya also revealed that the demand is definitely there, however, I think with the evaluations a relatively positive result can be understood. Nevertheless, the corona virus has some aspects to it, which could have productive or negative consequences. in my opinion, however, I think that this could develop well.
Before the experience of the heart project
Through the topic "log cabins", people are encouraged to think. The results of the survey will be very varied, as everyone has their own idea of what a home should be.
But this makes it exciting and we can let the different views be reflected and then think about which aspect we find best.
The contact with Canada brings us closer to the people who invented this "project" of log cabins and are already living it.
We can also learn more about the construction, as we have a contact in Switzerland. It is a company that builds such log cabins here in Switzerland.

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).
Topic:
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
Medium:

Project by Rémy and Lia
Task 3
(1) Names of collaboration team members:
Team from Wetzikon: Mario Anderegg and Joel Zürni
Team from USA Texas: Marios colegate of america
Team from Switzerland: Family Friend from Joel's family
(2) Diverse, e.g. material needed, expert proposals, difficulties:
- Medias to find experts in the field of electro cars
(3) Expert's comment:
No expert in the project
(4) Goal/Result:
Me and mario thought about the vacation which partners can answer our questions best and with which we can best come to the conclusion of our main statement. We knew that cars have an impact on the environment. But we kept asking ourselves what impact the different types of cars really have on the environment. We found the comparison between electric cars and old timers very interesting. It is always said that old timers have a worse impact on the climate than the "normal cars." Through the experience with old timers of our partners we learn what exactly makes an old timer and also more about the functioning of the different types of gasoline. We also learn that electric cars are only environmentally friendly to a certain extent.
