Plastic Planet

Today I'd like to point out that we produce a lot of plastic and a huge part of it floating in the oceans. Did you know there is a Plastic Island between Hawaii and North America which is as big as Central Europe and weights about 3m tons? It's true, search the web for 'Plastic Planet' and I'm quite sure you will find at least one page :-)

Well there are some easy ways to stop that:
1) don't use plastic bags for your shopping tours - or at least as few as possible
2) recycle plastic whenever possible
3) buy water in glass or recyclable plastic bottles

Well there's nothing for you to earn but a cleaner environment :-)

Save Electric Current - Save Money

Today I'd like to point out one very efficient way to help our environment and save a lot of money at the same time!

Yeah, stop joking you might think now. Well actually I saved about EUR 700.- during the last two years just by turning off devices I don't need. By turning off I really mean to turn off your devices. Don't use standby functionality of your devices - especially older devices can consume more than 10W.

A Symptom Of Hope

Welcome to my second blog which is concentrating on our beautiful environment and experience I made. There is still hope to rescue our blue planet - or let's say it's our duty.
