we kinda talked about it in geography, but I didn't pay attention

lets put it this way, why do you think big parts of the EU did not want to do anything when Russia invaded Georgia

 

[Sipyloidea]

thick windows are a good idea for this purpose.

all said

 

[xforeverxmetalx]

well, not a fan of public transport (too expensive) but I think carpools do too

yea, I don't care for public transportation... like here we have school buses, but they're old, loud, filled with a bunch of yelling kids, etc
sooo that's why I drive

 

[Lady_Wolf]

yea, we have double paned ones

in NL that is the standard for new houses

double paned or better

not really, unless you're used to biking/walking everywhere, which we as Americans are too lazy for
seriously though, the spacing makes it fairly inconvenient.



*agrees*

Depends if you have a trailer for your bike, like I do.

Bad girl!

You are not helping the environment!

yea, that's right Actually we did some kind of game where people should pretend they were a country (I was Japan). And everybody tried not to fuck with Russia because of oil and because of shorter transport ways.

 

[xforeverxmetalx]

never seen those. We still have a tank and waste lots of oil on that... shit happens

yea, they're fairly expensive [tankless water heaters] and I only heard about them through my environmental science class
going to invest on them if I can afford it, when I have my own place... they apparently pay for themselves within like two years or so.

well mine's secondhand and covered with spiderwebs

well, I got a buscard for free until 10th class. Would have been stupid not to use it. Afterwards I went to school with bike for about 2 years and then mixed bike and car for the last year depending on weather or plans after school.

I really don't like the school buses though
I've taken nicer buses, like Greyhound, and the tram in Atlanta, which are a lot nicer... wouldn't mind taking them every day.

I know that some houses in germany are connected to a public warmwater thing and have warmwater whenever... I could just dream of that out in the countryside Always have to boil the water one hour before I need it.

 

[xforeverxmetalx]

you're pretty creative on stuff like that

danke :]

 

[Sipyloidea]

fix any leaks and holes in the walls and insulation.
might not sound like that big of a deal, but it actually does help a lot.

don't think we have problems like that
