When I turn it off, it shows a red light. Bu there's no other option! The only way I can get rid of the red light is by unplugging the unit from the wall. I find it amazing that the company that made it didn't think of this. I have a TV decoder box that shows a green light when it’s on. When I turn it off, it shows a red light.

So whenever possible, I take the train and metro to work and I leave the car at home. Another thing we do at home is to hang out the washing to dry, instead of using the tumble dryer. I've also got into the habit of making sure all our household appliances' red standby lights are turned off when we're not using them. So before we go out or before we go to bed, I do the rounds and switch off everything at the walls. These are very small measures, but I reckon they make a difference.

They look great in the scenery - and I imagine they will look great set against the urban sprawl of a big city. (I stayed in one over Christmas a few years ago and it even had a Christmas tree planted on the roof - very festive.) If they are doing something good for the environment, all the better. Nice one, Copenhagen. The grass roof is a traditional style they use a fair amount in Norwegian mountain huts.

Like many people in Copenhagen, I ride a bike to work, to pick up the kids and do the shopping. It's quite safe and easy here: there's a great network of cycle lanes and cars are used to giving ways to cyclists. I've also just read about an initiative led by Copenhagen's city council to cover the city's roofs with grass. This would help absorb CO2 and produce more oxygen - which is particularly nice to breathe when you're pedaling into a gale-force wind. It's ironic that our city centres could soon become the greenest places to live. Nice post.
