Max Culture Post
What I have noticed in European culture so far on the trip is that the countries we have visited are more environmentally conscious. I saw in Germany the house had solar panels on the roofs and the trash receptacles had many different slots for different recycling options. In the Netherlands people tend to ride bicycles more, and they are encouraged to. All the cities we have visited have an advanced public transportation system that eliminates the need for automobiles. Also in the Netherlands there are a greater number of recharge stations for electric cars than there is in the United States. I can concluded that European cultures of governments are more concerned about keeping a clean environment and cutting down on fossil fuel consumption.

The people in Germany and the Netherlands seem to be more environmentally friendly than people in the States or people were in Prague. The cities themselves seem to limit the number of cars on the road by increasing the number of trams that they have running at any given time. I have also noticed a lot more nuclear power plants over here than I have back at home.
ReplyDeleteThe last two places we've been have had a significant number of bicycles, limiting the number of gas vehicles on the road. Also, trams and trains seem to be powered by electricity rather than fuel or steam.
