How Green is Germany?: A Quiz |
|
|
|
|
Germany is certainly one of the greenest countries in the world. As a leader in environmental technology and progressive programs addressing recycling, Germany promotes a level of environmental awareness rivaled by few other nations. We would like to test your knowledge of how green Germany is and get you thinking about how you can incorporate a “green” German experience into your future.
Take the quiz and you could win a free trip to Germany, a bicycle or a subscription to National Geographic.

Attention all Bay Area DAAD Alumni!
The DAAD Alumni Association USA provides a fantastic opportunity to stay in contact with other DAAD scholars, to expand networks, and to nurture interest in and further knowledge of German culture and higher education. There is an exceptionally high concentration of DAAD alumni in the Bay Area, but, as of yet, no regional group established. Reach out to your fellow alumni and make an effort to further the DAAD Alumni Association; contact the San Francisco Information Officer Leslie Harlson at daadsf@daad.org to help set up a Bay Area group, or to see what you can do to help!
