German townsfolk wonder: Is it possible to be too green?
The townsfolk hailed from Marburg Germany, which will soon be my new home. Apparently the city adopted an ordinance requiring that all homeowners add solar panels when they renovate their homes or fix their roofs. I'm all for green activities but requiring people to add solar panels is a little excessive. According to the article, most people in town support the spirit of the resolution but don't necessarily support the ordinance. You can read the article using the link below.

In the picture from the article above, you see solar panels in the foreground with Marburg Castle in the background, illustrating how Germans have created a vibrant forwarding-thinking economy while embracing their long and storied past. I can not wait to experience this culture and hopefully embrace my own Germanic heritage.
