My overall opinion about the field trip is very good. Not only we have been an interesting group of people but mostly the program was great, fresh and varied. I really appreciate that we have been on several places and each of them were different but green. Everybody could fins his/her own area of interest. Of course that outdoor trips are easier to remember but the lectures were important as well. For example the lecture of Mrs. Alexa Lutzenberger which majority of other participants found rather useless was worthy to listen.

I really appreciate that we have been on several places and each of them was different but still green. Everybody could find his/her own area of interest. Of course that outdoor trips are easier to remember but the lectures were important as well. For example the lecture of Mrs. Alexa Lutzenberger which majority of other participants found rather useless was worthy to listen for me.
The topic is in general closely relevant for our country because of several factors. First, Germany is a powerful member of EU therefore it plays important role beside other in policy making. For now the EU has adopted Directive 2009 on the promotion of the use of energy from Renewable (RE) sources where is set target to achieve 20 % of energy from RE in EU by taking individual national goals. Czech republic unsurprisingly accepted low goal of 13 %.

For now the EU has adopted Directive 2009 on the promotion of the use of energy from Renewable sources (RS) where is set a target to achieve 20 % of energy (electricity, heating, transport etc.) from RS in EU by taking individual national goals. Czech republic unsurprisingly accepted low goal of 13 % because our starting position in 2010 was rather weak (we had only 9 % of energy from RS) but also because our government doesn't like to  be challenged. Situation in Germany wasn't much different - they took only 18 % goal from the 11 % beginning level in 2010. After Fukusima catastrophe it has changed and now Germany is working on 100 % energy from RS by 2050. The idea look very nice - instead of burning fossil fuels they will use never-ending source of energy. Therefore Germany is a good example and pioneer which can inspire other countries. I think that we really need an example to realize if it is possible or not. Germany has
