Sustainable hotels keep a close eye on a number of things: their environmental footprint, CO2 emissions, the origin of food. These are the big areas. But we think a sustainable hotel also stands out for its awareness to the details. Sustainable decorations, for example, supporting…
Could there be anything more romantic than a secluded mountain hut, the red-golden slopes in front of the door and a crackling fire in the living room? We do not know the answer, and therefore we took a look around to find a place to relax…
How do you prefer to spend your summer? Probably some of you like to take a dip in the pool to get away from the stifling summer heat. Summers are increasingly hot due to climate change, so it is no wonder that the pool business is booming recently.
Environmental performance of classic pools is often poor, so many people are opting for an eco-friendly swimming pond. There are several types of natural swimming ponds. Frequently, the purification works through another pond, called the regeneration zone, which uses a gravel filter or a wetland of plants. Quite similar to the process in nature, where water plants clean ponds. In fact, the natural pool along with its regeneration zone forms a small ecosystem. Typically, over time, it will change and attract animals or insects, providing them with welcome refreshment as well. (Read more about the benefits of a sustainable garden). Having a pond ecosystem will save you money because many maintenance costs are eliminated. On the downside, a swimming pond is more expensive in construction and, due to the regeneration zone, often requires more space than a traditional pool.

Th drink originated in the United States. In the 1920s, soda bars were all the rage, and soda jerks would mix drinks fresh with soda water, milk, ice cream, or egg, depending on the customer’s preference.
Today, cream soda is usually a sweet, carbonated lemonade with vanilla flavoring (though it doesn’t contain milk or cream). In the U.S., it’s often golden brown, but in Japan, there are also pink and green varieties flavored with cotton candy or melon.
In German-speaking countries, cream soda is not a standard supermarket beverage. Instead, it is often only available as an imported product in U.S./U.K. or Asian sections. (Note: Mass-produced brands like A&W (U.S.) and Barr (U.K.) typically contain artificial flavors, colors, and corn syrup.
You’ll have the smallest ecological footprint if you use cream soda syrups that you carbonate or mix with sparkling water yourself.)
