How GERMANY Made Us MORE ECOFRIENDLY 🇩🇪 (Why Aren't these Things Done in the USA?)

Since moving to Germany a year and a half ago, our lifestyles have changed A LOT, which was the top of last week's video (link below). For this week, we talk about all of the changes we've made concerning the environment - such as using our car WAY less, using renewable energy sources, recycling WAY more, buying more used and handmade items, and more.

//ABOUT US//
We are a family of six, with four kids and a cat 😹, who moved from the USA to Germany in February of 2021 to pursue our dreams of adventure, travel, learning another language, and integrating into German life. We hope you enjoy our videos about our journey to integrate - the highs and the lows of being foreigners on the adventure of a lifetime.
