European Culture
They are very green (not the Amsterdam special kind of green) I see smart cars, wind turbines, recycling bins for people to separate their trash properly, and even the bathrooms usually have hand dryers instead of paper towels and the toilet paper at most places comes out I little squares so you realize how much you are using. We could take some of their ideas and use them in the states to decrease our footprint but there are other things that Europe can keep for its' self like how it seems every one smokes. The front desk worker was surprised that none of us smoked when he was telling us about the smoking policy. Also I like how they don't have every single rule posted like back home. It's just more of a common since thing for example most third story windows wont even open or if they do there are bars on the window so no one will fall out here not so much. there aren't even screens on the window to keep you from falling out.

There seems to be quite a significant amount of smokers here as compared to the US. I feel as if it's more looked down upon to smoke in the US where here it's not really a big deal. But they also smoke other things here too that we're way more strict on.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the US could be more green with wind turbines and the like. But I think Europeans need to do something about all the smokers, its starting to make me sick.
ReplyDeleteThe U.S. is defiantly trying to get more green Energy going, of course there's always political trouble with a big topic like that, but it is also a lot easier for a smaller country like that because they have a VERY significantly less amount of power requirements then we do in the States.
