This Semester
Wann sind wir als Menschen bereit etwas für die Umwelt und das Klima zu tun? Und wie können wir Akzeptanz schaffen für Interventionen, die der Umwelt gut tun? Der Forschungsbereich der Umweltpsychologie versucht genau solche Fragen zu beantworten. Die Expertin Cathérine Hartmann der ZHAW der Abteilung angewandte Psychologie wird im Rahmen eines Vortrags auf diese Fragen eingehen.
When are we as human beings ready to do something for the environment and the climate? And how can we create acceptance for interventions that have a positive impact on the environment? The research area of environmental psychology tries to answer exactly these questions. Expert Cathérine Hartmann from the Department of Applied Psychology (ZHAW) will be holding a talk on these questions.

Wie kommt es, dass bei uns täglich Tonnen von Lebensmitteln weggeworfen werden, während andernorts Menschen hungern? Wie und wo wurde eigentlich meine geliebte Schokolade hergestellt? Kaufen wir M-Budget-Spaghetti oder lieber Barilla? Diesen und weiteren Fragen gehen wir gemeinsam auf den Grund. Wir hinterfragen unser Konsumverhalten, diskutieren Alternativen und lernen an Standorten positiver Beispiele konkrete Handlungsalternativen kennen. Komm mit auf die Stadtführung konsumGLOBAL und lerne Zürich anders kennen! Melde dich an bis zum 27. September unter events@ssc.ethz.ch mit deinem vollständigen Namen und Telefonnummer an.

It started with an idea from ETH students. How can we effectively protect our climate? Since then myclimate has grown considerably and today offers the possibility of offsetting greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere through CO2-reducing projects. Kathrin Dellantonio, Head of Corporate Partnerships at myclimate, will report on how the whole thing works exactly. Afterwards Q&A.
Es begann mit einer Idee von ETH-Studierenden. Wie kann man unser Klima effektiv schützen? Heute bietet myclimate Privatpersonen und Unternehmen die Möglichkeit, in die Atmosphäre ausgestossene Treibhausgase durch CO2-reduzierende Projekte zu kompensieren. Kathrin Dellantonio, Head of Corporate Partnerships bei myclimate, wird berichten, wie das Ganze genau funktioniert. Im Anschluss Q&A.

Haven’t we all been there - standing in the grocery shops and staring at the same fruit, thinking which one is worse for the environment, and also our budget? The banana flown to us from Colombia or the apple locally produced in Switzerland but refrigerated for months? These decisions are not easy when it comes to everyday choices from buying flight tickets to choosing house heating hours.
To make your life easier and to help you make better decisions as a consumer, we bring to you a fun evening filled with exciting prizes and a Q&A on sustainable lifestyle choices! The zoom link will be sent after registration.
This game will be hosted by Ph.D. students and researchers from the environmental engineering institute at ETH Zurich, specialized in understanding household consumption footprints.
You can register in a group of 2-5 or individually (and you will be allocated to a group) and get competitive! Registration link

Do you want to get to know the people behind SSC better and what we do? Come to our first event of this semester and learn about us, our projects, teams and visions for the future. After our introduction we will watch the mockumentary "Carnage" together that is set in the year 2067 when being vegan is the norm rather than the exception.
