Swiss School
First Video(sustainability management school)
- SUMAS teches students business administration mixed with sustainability and reducing the impact on earth
- teachings here are based on being aware that you are not alone and the impacts you can cause
- SUMAS is in the center of enviroment in switzerland and is a completely sustainable campus i.e energy: solar panels
Second video(case study)
- the european comission is trying to get people as well as industries to be aware that we are not taking good care of the environment.
- people and organizations are stablishing consumer and producer limits of energy used for/by products and the amount of waste generated
Third Video(this video1)
- the planet has had its 10 hottest years in the last 14 years and the hottest was 2005.
- dangerous temperature increases around the world are causing glaciers to melt as well as stronger storms
- our ability to live is what is at stake
- the artic is melting faster and faster and if it were to dissapear, most of lorida, shanghai and manhattan would end up underwater with the global sea levels increasing 20ft
Fourth Video(this video2)
- solar impulse is a project of a solar powered plane to travel across america to demonstrate the power of solar energy
- Basically it is trying to demonstrate that since the plane is powered by the sun, it can practically fly forever since solar energy will never run out.
Fifth Video(this video3)
- it talks about how the world needs more people to solve its problems through inventing different products with sustainable offers/solutions
- to do this, one must think beyond knowledge, think outside the box

How can sustainable consumption be used in Bogota?
Bogota is a fast growing city. It is reaching the 8 million people within the city and has incredibly big suburbs. Many of these 8 million people have cars and other polluting means of transportation. There are about 1.2 private cars in Bogota and that does not count public transportation, which has been increasing in the amount of vehicles with buses and the Transmilenio project. The vast majority of these are powered by gasoline, a nonrenewable resource that pollutes in the form of CO2 Gas.
A very good way to use sustainable consumption in Bogota would be to introduce environmentally friendly means of transport to citizens, like bicycles. Establishing more routes for the bikes would drive more citizens into the direction of bicycle transport since it is exercise, it is environmentally friendly, and it avoids traffic jams. Adding to that idea would be to introduce electronic cars to the city. This would reduce the amount of pollution that is produced by the city's #1 pollutant, burned fuel in the form of gasoline.
It would all be a long term project, since people are not going to accept change from night to day. They are still very broad ideas that would need buffering and work but its a start to help the planet and to reduce our carbon footprint as a city. These would also demonstrate renewable energy since electronic cars are mostly based on solar energy through solar panels. The idea would help the city, it just needs a little bit of work.

GAFE
Google Maps and Google Earth
Although these two apps are not the same thing, they are very similar. Google earth is speacialized in satellite imagery while google maps, having satellite imagery, also takes a look at traffic, directions, political divisions and other specific aspects of certaing areas. Google maps is an iphone and google earth is an app within the iphone.
Google Maps include:
- Google Earth
- Google Streetview
- Directions
- World Info.
Google streetview is a program set up to explore the world in a generalized aspect, but from the comfort of your own home. Google cars have been deployed all over the world since May 25, 2007. Each car has a built in camera on the roof that takes 360 images of the place.
Directions is a program within google maps that is more like a GPS system, When used, it pinpoints your location or a location you enter and gets you the directions from there, to anywhere you want to go.
World info. is a tab within maps or earth thats gives you data about a certain region or place. i.e. Weather, traffic, terrain/
This program could be used by the school commuunity for school projects in the streetview areas. The galleries available in this division are amazing and very complete in every aspect possible when you take into consideration that you are thousands of miles apart from the place you are staring at in such details and panoramic availability.
