We all know plastic bags are an environmental evil. I’ve somehow grown up knowing this yet here we are still passing out plastic at the grocery store for temporary use. For those of you who read Daily Tomorrow regularly you might know I currently reside in Germany. What you may not know is that German […]
I started my day with a plan that involved riding my bicycle across town to pick up some supplies. First, it was a lot colder outside than I thought it would be. Not unbearable but definitely a bit bitey. Then, as I wrestled my bike free from among the others (everyone bikes here in Germany) […]
Caffeine junkies, I’m talking to you, one coffee-cup-holding environmentalist to another. Wherever your favorite morning brew may come from and wherever it may go, sip it from a reusable cup to reduce land fill waste and energy use.

There’s something creeping around your appliances and electronics: an energy sucking phantom, load that is. Even in standby mode, computers, TVs, DVD players and appliances continue to use energy. The US EPA estimates that up to 75% of energy used in the average home is actually wasted to electronics and appliances in standby mode. Beware […]
I live in North Rhine Westphalia, Germany, where from my experience I can say with confidence it is cloudy most of the time.
