As I near the end of the experience, I have been reflecting on lessons I have learned. There are many take-aways from this summer that will stick with me.
1) While cars are helpful, they are not necessary every day. The US MUST do a better job of increasing public transportation-buses, trams, maybe even trains to other cities.
2) Be environmentally friendly-recycle and reuse.
3) Produce is so much better if it is fresh! Nearly every Swiss family has a fruit tree and/or a vegetable garden. You cannot beat the taste! Plus it is "free," just the labor!
4) Every item of clothing does not need to be dried. Europeans hang most if not all of their clothes. Just think of the energy savings this could bring!
5) While air conditioning is a gift, you can live without it. Sleeping with the window open and rain falling is very soothing. I plan to shut mine off more often.
