Does your household Domestos? No? Clorix? Not? Thought so. You probably clean with frog-cleaner or a similar product that says something of biodegradability. And I would almost bet, that if there is a choice between paper and plastic bags, paper bravely to draw or perhaps even, that would be very exemplary, bring a basket or a cloth bag for shopping, maybe you fill all purchases in your backpack or bike bag. Welcome to the modern, environmentally conscious Germany, the beautiful layers, which frightened during the eighties have believed to the forest decline and if possible do like to save the whales. And for the careful sorting is much safer than the gospel truth. Welcome to the civilized Western Europe. Now Spain
clearly is further west than Germany, but in terms of environmental protection, I sometimes think that modernism has not yet arrived there. Is excessive, I know. But conversely, we live in English View just in the dirt. And are as deeply backward, as we simply do not understand the comfort of sterility. I think it has mainly historical reasons: as Germany, voiced concern about acid rain and forest decline, Spain had just a couple franco-free years and equal to the first coup behind; fled who could, from a poor, dirty country to the awakening Cities , leaving the rural life and the dark past and made up into an clean water, preferably with a bidet. Says the abortion of the people but everything else about his life.
the same time learned the very advanced German living that nuclear energy may vegetables are contaminated and that a plastic bag in the woods will need 300 years to decompose. And he did not care. Timid at first, then increasingly with system, he began to cut plastic, picked for the mixed fruit may only be a paper bag and grabbed the bananas no longer a matter returned at the end, but it still took back a bit, even the paper bag. The masterstroke was the ecologically concerned German in the waste separation, he was a true master of garbage separator (or waste separation masters): The paper got a basket, the glass is three pouches depending on the color, the organic waste was in the black or green bin, if not equal to the own compost. And then there was still jahaaa, the Green Point with his yellow bag. In many villages of the favorite point of contention disaffected citizens who felt their local superiors enslaved pointless, but some knew from good authority, that all of the yellow bags with their plastic garbage behind again anyway with the normal garbage (of which some people do not a longer knew what he was actually allowed to throw yet) landed in the incinerator.
And so he separated, although temporarily angry today, the good Biodeutsche. There were also new social niches from this sorting, like that of glass and cans collectors. The sculpture is from the coffers of the supermarkets in this country largely disappeared, or it costs extra. And today, all cleaning agents are biodegradable, they remain on the shelf. If the drain clogged times is, well what's at it, because it simply does not flow free, because it is corrosive, but it takes time until the Plömmel and properly inflated. Or try reading Grandma's good coffee grounds. Not so with our southern friends. Go
times in a English supermarket, buy a tidy. Let's say for 30 €. As you come out but not less than 6 bags. Plastic, of course. The paper bag was not found south of the Pyrenees. And you will be looked damn funny if you arrive with a backpack and start at the box office, all reinzustopfen there I tell you. It then keeps the same for a backpackers (so you might as well) or strays. And in similar categories for you if you say that you brush at home only with organic cleaners, if possible, without chemicals, even still accompanied by the statement that sterility is not your primary financial goal. To virgen heaven's sake, santa , as the hands around you but are appalled at the head beaten. The magic word
Iberian home hygiene is in fact lejía . Known to us and hardly bought by private individuals or as Domestos Clorix. A non-guaranteed biodegradable chemical bomb that used to bleach clothes is. Ökohaushaltsvorstehern institution superintendents yesterday and today as a thorn in the eye. In the span safe home, however lejía is often used for cleaning and disinfection of all : floors, toilet, sink, laundry, sinks, bathtubs, doorknobs, food bowls. Thanks lejía the average English household is 99% germ-free. You could eat basically anywhere from the ground, if we do not like this would get annoying chlorine poisoning. A friend once told, since they have a dog, they dilute the lejía no longer water, but clean the floor with just lejía pura. On the somewhat horrified whether because they do not have fear, the dog might lap up remnants of the cleaning agent in bone nibbling accidentally from the ground said they piqued easy dog bones were surely intended for consumption outside the home.
It's all has its good side. The millions of tourists each year stay in Spain beds left, but yes a lot of germs. Since lejía perhaps ultimately helps to preserve the public health. And the typical German eco-tourist in Spain for his dirty clothes and his dirty hiking boots are a plastic bag too little, because they are at home so to get any more. He just needs to go into any supermarket and To buy a pack of whole wheat biscuits, now he has two fresh new bags. He can then reuse for the next three years.
All this will be played only on the way, if you think your home permanently or temporarily relocate to the Iberian Peninsula: Buy your home neat organic cleaning products, and make sure if this is right for your question rather, a German cleaning woman. Unless you want to have even hygienically clean.
