One thing I realized while living in Germany is that Germans (and Europeans in general, I think) are MUCH more conscious of energy consumption and green practices than us North Americans. I suppose I still have the North American attitude (or rather, ignorance) ingrained into me, but I am trying to do better! At least the "energy efficient" appliances seem to be gaining in popularity here. In my last flat, the appliances were all energy efficient, and they were all German! :)
