Just from the URL, I pick up verboten and autowaschen - forbidden to
wash auto. I presume. :)
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.
In the whole Germany?
I ask this simple question simply because, in my region of France (
Normandy ) we often laugh when news speaks about water shortage or
temperature being "damn super hot this year".
But on the other hand, France is a country where each region have very
different conditions. Here, a forest fire is just something that I can
not imagine. In the south of France, there are very destructive ones
each year. Less water, higher temperatures, winds coming from south not
charged with humidity, etc, I guess.
But I would not bet that if I have never seen a real water shortage
here, it is because we consume less water than south's guys. And if, in
a single country, I can see such differences, how could you compare
different countries without, probably, knowing them well?
About the oil, in France, we now have 2 polities: 1 we have specialized
places where we go to put our bigger trash, and 2 there is some sorting
of the trash in houses. Oil can be put in the specialized places ( which
are paid from taxes, but there are still people stupid enough to throw
their junk outside their car when the drive, instead of putting them in
a bin. Humpf... ).
