New construction in Germany is insanely well insulated -- by law. But we have a huge existing base of old construction that takes ten times as much energy to heat up or more. You can't just hear all that down, and improving the insulat

I think it's a rounding error either way, but our pot for black tea only gets rinsed (usually cold), and our pot for herbal teas occasionally gets put inside the dishwasher. Not sure why you think teapots need to be washed individually

Is there really softer demand in the plant-based meat category, as Beyond Meat claims? In Germany, that market has been growing and is projected to grow further. But there are lots of brands competing, including cheap in-store brands. Beyon
