Germany is on the Green fast track. Despite being one of the cloudiest countries in the world they are a leader in solar energy, proving clouds don't cancel out the sun's power, and potential. The country also holds an annual contest for the "German Sustainability Award," which encourages companies to operate sustainably while raising awareness for the cause.
The German Green Party is paying extra attention to their capital city, Berlin, whose Parliament building is now warmed by geothermal heat and generates its electricity using refined canola oil. The city is also teeming with bike lanes, electric cars, and grass roofs. The best part? Berliners believe that “sustainability can be sexy, and that environmental consciousness and creativity go hand in hand.” Way to go Berlin!
