Something interesting that I have noticed about Europe is in the bathrooms. They seem to be very environmentally conscious about water and paper products. Most of the public restrooms I have used dispense 2 sheets of toilet paper at a time rather than letting you take as much as you want the first time. I think they do this to prevent you from taking more than necessary. I also noticed that compared to the US there is barely any water in the toilet bowls and in the US there is more than a gallon. I like this about Europe because they are more conscious of their water usage.
I think a method that the US is starting to implement that is widely used here in Italy is 2 different settings to flush the toilet. One button uses less water because you don't want to be wasting alot of water each time if you don't have to. I think, at least here in Italy, they are more environmentally conscious.

The two button flush system is super awesome! I think it is weird that Rome has so many places to fill your water bottle, where the water is constantly flowing, and yet they are still very water conscious.
