    Fun fact of the day: "Keeping your tires inflated properly can improve your gas mileage by more than 3 percent. Every gallon of gasoline saved keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. "

    I can consider myself lucky enough to be able to have access to an adequate amount of clean water. However, I am aware of rural areas where people need to allocate daily time to provide their homes with clean water for drinking, cooking, and cleaning.

    Romania has one of the highest seismic risks in Europe. This is something I did not know. Luckily in Transylvania, we are a bit more protected by the Carpathian mountains.
