Correct :). Btw. http://ec.europa.eu/news/environment/131108_en.htm and JFTR particle of plastic carrier bags are bad for the groundwater too. However, Germans usually are sensible to things like that. There's a law in Germany that each household needs to have an appointed liter volume for the trash can. Usually the trash can's are not half filled when the bin men come to empty them. If you live in a house with foreigners, the same volume often isn't enough. I'm not xenophobe, it's an objective observation. In Germany there's no water shortage, but AFAIK Germans consume less water, than e.g. people consume in Lass Vegas, where they have an water issue, I might be mistaken. _______________________________________________ D-community-offtopic mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic
