so im committed to writing bout the environment for today, in support of the greenies...will just present a few observations seeing ive only got 10 minutes left of internet usage.
The germans are dedicated to creating a very environmental-friendly atmosphere, they are aware of the importance of recycling, and they are actually practising it too...
First off, you get charged for every single piece of plastic bag at the store, bottles and glasses alike. Not only that, you are required to categorize your waste according to the different substances and you are legally obligated to dispose them accordingly into the different bins.
Smart cars are highly supported here as well, ppl are willing to pay a higher price for a small car in the name of saving the environment. Brochures and flyers are all printed in recycled papers, lights and heaters in the apartments are operated with timer, electrical appliances are made to be energy-saving...
It is also a common practice for people to carpool around here, ive been using the facility myself arranging rides to different places and traveling with complete strangers in the car. It is a brilliant idea, not only does it conserve resources, but more importantly, it is very cost effective as well.
We can all learn from the germans in becoming a greener person, they are really making an effort in making a difference, and they sure have done a helluva job at that...
