5 examples of how France is not THAT eco-friendly

1) There is no recycling!
2) They don't use reusable water bottles
3) High-power water sprayers to clean the street every day?! Not eco
4) Their dryers don't work well at all
5) They have fountains that just run all day long. And I doubt all of that water comes from magical, endless underground springs. Or if it does - um, so wasteful!

5 examples of how France is still MORE eco-friendly than the U.S.

1) Their refrigerators, cars, homes, and TVs are all much smaller
2) They don't take long, twenty minute showers
3) Stores charge you for plastic shopping bags, so it's better to BYOB (bring your own bag)
4) They drink a lot of beer and wine. Hey, just saving some water for the fish ;)
5) Laundry lines are used to dry clothes in the open air. Well, for most people (ahem).
