As I was walking I saw three little boys playing in their side yard. They used their mothers clothing lines as soccer nets. It was adorable. I spent more time then usual at the grocery store, usually I am pressed for time, but on this rainy day I had nothing better to do. I like the idea of having to pay for plastic bags. Germany does such a good job of being "green"as we would say it in the US. I remember with interior design it was such a catch phrase "go green"or "leed design," but here it is just a way of life. You can't drive very far without seeing huge windmills to generate electricity or walk down the road without passing 6 different recycling bins. You are expected to return plastic bottles at different locations and reusable grocery bags are pretty much required. I think the states need to do better job of being less wasteful and refrain from patting themselves on the back when choosing to refurnishing their apartments with Teragren bamboo flooring or illumination by Northstar glow.

Heute, gehe nach REWE. Ich kaufe Brot im Supermarkt, weil es dort billiger ist. Das Kind war im yard gespielen.
