okay so ...dishwashers are not used here most of the time...you just rub the plates with a sponge in the sink or whatever
refrigerator... i have something like a hybrid because it has both (refrigerator and freezer) included...and by the way it's huge :)
coffee maker - i have , we don't use it.
toaster - no
oven -yes
microwave - yes , rarely used
washer and dryer - yes

Lol. I have to wash pots and pans by hand in the sink also, but I use the dishwasher for everything else...
And my refrigerator is both a freezer/ refrigerator also. The freezer is on the top and smaller than the fridge, the whole thing is about 5 feet 9 inches tall (I guess thats huge. Lol.) You don't have TOASTER?! How do you make bagels and toast?? << This is ridiculous! Lol.

Bagels ? Toast ? =)  ..we buy whatever kind of bread we want to eat from the market...anyway sometimes we cook the bread in the oven (grandma style, kinda healthier).

Romanians are quite (okay, a lot more) lazy and ignorant and they skip the breakfast (especially if they wake up after 10 am) , and posh ladies don't eat much bread because it makes them FATTER . lol

Ohhh^^^ interesting...

and remus, thats funny. (:

I don´t have toaster and either coffe maker and dishwasher...
I have to wash the dishes with my own hands xDD
I have a refrigerator/freezer too same as yours with a small freezer in the top but my refrigerator/freezer is a little bit small xDDD

Interesting. hey cosaque you should go to this website about "going green"
Its pretty cool (:  http://www.terracycle.net/

Im not sure about the omelet. But they are always delicious! (:

in Italy, i have Dishwasher (not used very often), two refrigerators (one small size with small freezer, one big size with freezer too), coffee maker (never used), no toaster, electric oven (the main one), no microwave (although it's common), washing machine (everyone has) and no laundry dryer (never saw it in italy).

exactly
we always dry clothes on the clothesline. If it rains, we wait or we dry them in a covered balcony (like we do in my family)

Oh i visited this website, you're right, it's really interesting and funny! ^^ It's a good idea to want recycle different products!  i have seen a reportage about plastic in january, i was really afraid!^^ i think plastic is practical, but it's a horror to distroy this material after... A lot of plastic things finish in the sea(by exemple), and after some years, they are break up in a million of little plastic particle in the sea, and fish eat theses particle, they died, or with the alimentary chain, humans are touched by this dirtiness!
But i don't think peoples(consumer) are the more responsible of it, they buy what they can buy... Responsibles are firm who produced wraps in plastic... often, we heard than we have to treat best our waste... but to not produce theses in materials really polluted wastes is not a best solution ?
A lot of wraps could be created with an other material, as cartboard, or glass... there are material who are more "naturals", it's more easy to destruct them and theses materials are destroying more fastly in my opinion. By exemple, the glass is created in a great part with sand...
About nuclear energy, i think it's  a good energy source, because if you stop this production, you are obliged to create energy with other materials, with others maneers, who are often really destructive! and green energy is not too much productive today.  the only problem is the radioactive waste... We have to progress to know how create waste more clean!

With regard to new energy, we are here, the government has begun to build large wind power plants, you know, there are a lot of windmills to convert wind energy into electrical energy. Because there is also very rich in solar energy resources, the Government is to apply to the state to build a solar power plant.
