Back today! A few kids were out sick, but one kid and one teacher came back from vacation to a total of 6 kids and 4 adults. We had a relaxed day with a morning trip in the Kinderwagon to the grocery store to get fresh fruit and vegetables. When at the grocery store, we put everything directly from the shelf to the crate we brought, with no plastic waste or packaging – just fruits and veggies in the crate! My host family does the same thing, loading up the crates. Last week I accidentally stole from the kindergarten and today I returned my thieved item. After taking my glass mineral water bottle home, I had to bring it back once empty to put it in the crate of water it came in. Once the kindergarten has the crate full of empty bottles, they then bring it back to where they bought the water and get money back for bringing the glass back to recycle. I thought this was very neat because it’s a more eco friendly recycling system with accountability because of the buy back. My host family buys crates of mineral water by the dozens, and does the same thing. It was nice to better know the sustainability practices of work in Germany! Pic of much loved nap room
