Bisher haben wir auf Lanzarote unsere zwei Supermärkte gehabt in denen wir eingekauft haben. Jetzt habe ich gelesen, dass elf Lidl-Filialen auf den kanarischen Inseln gebaut werden sollten. In Arrecife auf Lanzarote sollte die erste Filiale eröffnet werden. Nach neuesten Informationen ist die Filiale im Bau und es werden Mitarbeiter gesucht. Ich bin gespannt ob Lidl eröffnet hat bis wir zum Urlaub machen nach Lanzarote kommen.
Let the grass grow!
May 11, 2009 By Leave a Comment
We often hear debates about whether bio-ethanol production is taking the food out of other peoples’ mouths.
So how about growing crops especially for bio-ethanol production, that are not intended for human consumption. Such as grass.
The grass in this report would not only be one possible solution, but researchers claim that it produces more energy than is required to make it. In other words, it takes less CO2 to produce the bio-ethanol than the amount that is being saved, making an overall net reduction in CO2 – aparently 94% compared to the same volume of petrol.
I wonder what people will find wrong with this solution?
Aussichtsturm Ellerhöhe

Aussichtsturm Ellerhöhe
Hidden away on the northern side of Bad Homburg is a viewing platform called the Aussichtsturm Ellerhöhe.
It was originally built in 1873, re-built in 1889 and extended in 1901. The top of it is approximately 200m above sea level.
Although the tower itself is only about 16m tall, it does offer a view across the town of Bad Homburg to Oberursel, and even as far as Frankfurt.
In fact, many local people do not even know that it is there!
