Three professors from Hamburg University’s medical faculty traveled last month to Ingeborg’s sitting room in East Berlin to test her on the work she carried out in pre-war Germany.
This finding is understandable in certain cases in spite of its high significance; that is because energy efficiency of building operation just represents a single aspect of sustainability.
The numbers on US student debt, after all, are truly staggering. The average 2015 US university graduate who took out loans to help pay for tuition enters the workforce with $35,000 in student debt. In the US, total student debt exceeds $1.15 trillion-dwarfing, for instance, the nation’s credit card debt.
