Eco-centric Germany
Blijf op de hoogte en volg Lisa
06 Augustus 2012 | Duitsland, München
Yesterday night we arrived in Munich, Germany. We’re staying in this really relaxed and laid-back hostel called the Tent, and after some searching on the Internet, I discovered some interesting facts about Germany.
If you’re interested in sustainability you probably already know that Germany is one of the leading nations when it comes to sustainable energy. In the first half of 2010 25% of all the electricity was renewable. This should be 35% by 2030 and 80% by 2050. On the other hand, Germany’s biggest energy producer (RWE) still produces a lot of energy from coal (you can see a photo below). However, there are a lot of protests against that.
German people don’t only take care of the world by using renewable electricity; they also try to eat the right food. Germany is the key player in the market of organic food, and they have always played a pioneer role. According to some websites German people are even scared of chemicals in food, which is why they will get angry with people that don’t eat organic food. I don’t know how much of this is true, but we’ll find out soon!
P.S.: Wondering what we did last week in Italy? You can see it here! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DC0Vc4EIMo
