Together with school children and the St. Gallen University of Teacher Education, researchers are developing a children's book about circular economy that is meant to inspire both young and old. How will we travel in the future? According to Samuel, 10, we will use solar-powered airships instead of airplanes. Lara, 10, envisions traffic moving on three underground levels - one each for cars, the subway and trains. Other children imagine cars powered by compost or wind power. And maybe, adds nine-year-old Lars, we'll take a vacation in the simulator or the cozy warm greenhouse next door and not have to travel so often in the first place.
