green, grün, grön, vert, verde, l´ü, groen

in the kitchen is a huge bag of green hay-tea
some kind of purifying stuff
it looks like horse food and nothing else
as we ask V how it tastes, she just answers: "Functional"

the trees are not exactly green yet, but we have a lot of expectations

we finally got a dishwasher, which is an awesome investion
for a 4+ person household
it´s 2nd hand and we actually got it cos the girls wrote a
very charming e-mail to a guy on ebay
to give us the machine for very few bugs
it´s an german AEG- eco something and has so many programmes
normal, quick and intensive and these 3 programmes also as "bio" (eco)
and then eco-special 50° and eco save 50°
eehm... I´m pretty excited

and: green searching
as you know one search on google needs a lot of electricity
so there are two new options to use google over a different website
www.znout.org
it stands for zero negative output and neutralizes the CO² emitted
by searching with bying certificates for renewable energy.
the same with www.forestle.org - the money from this website
goes to the nature conservancy who takes care for rainforests

and more news worth knowing (and that made me happy)

two danish guys invented a searching homepage
where refugees who were seperated from their families
can register anomynously and look for their family members
such a good thing

The ministers within the EU finally decided to take up 10´000
iraqi refugees which fled to Syria and Jordan.
Germany will take up 2500, mainly people who need medical care,
single moms, ethnic and religious minorities - people where the chance of
resettlement in Iraq is very low and who need special protection.
Finally a sign of showing responsibility.

komm unity

it´s the days when you are on a random lift
and people ask you what you do besides studying
then it appears to me: i have no "hobbies" no more
I work and travel
and I hang out with people

it´s the days when you come out of the shower
and one study mate is already over in the kitchen for some coffee
and it goes on like this until the evening
and one is wondering why one d0esn´t get the work done
I love it and it disturbs me
guess love and disturbance are good

My little brother was over visiting me
it was lovely, he is so cute and tall
and has a strong east german accent
he became so much more open the last years
and finally he came to visit me after years

one of the girls is going to leave us
she´s getting married
we had a strange living commune cast
it´s the weired days you invite people
to spend some time with them to find out if you want to live together
so now in april a guy is going to move in with us
he has seven bikes and a lot of humour
is a teacher for home economics and environmental protection
"the workflow in your kitchen is interrupted by this door"
punk music and butter cake
he seems to be a "angenehmer mensch"
