What is wrong with being conservative...
I mean really do we need to have a thousand lights on all the time...
we have low power movement sensors at our disposal, why not use them...
flood lights can be replaced by flouro ones...
house lights only cost a small amount to run but they can be a little savings..
i replaced my washing machine with a new one and looked for the most economical one for power and water...
Really if we push the household savings it can filter up through peoples attitudes changing...
and believe me, people will listen if you keep it simple...with your hobby, everyone of you will have an understanding what a planet will look like with a few extra degrees up or down..both ways are deserts when that temp is consistant...so what happens when the atmosphere completely collapses...I dont just condemn nuclear power, but all forms of destructive power...
i even feel guilty by using a pc when i dont have a solar panel outside...
My son and I have been discussing getting rid of the car and just having a motorbike, or gettin rid of both...it is feasible..push bike is not possible for me as i have some disability, but i can live with not having all these gadgets if it will make a difference..i think with a bit of suggesting by us all we can preserve our planet, but to have all these gadgets, we will destroy it...
Anyone remember the 70's and 80's, all the talks about the way the earth will kill itself and the polly's and so called scientists saying that, those scientists saying we are in trouble now,are all nutters...funny, how come what they predicted is happening faster, and the polly's are still telling us they have the answers..they never did then, why would they now...
I think people need to look more closely or err on the side of caution...If someone has no idea the polly will love them and call the person speaking up "a nutter"...
I have been on the recieving end of people like that, and i can tell you its not nice and then those same criticisers come knocking and want help, well yes i'm a fool cause i do help, but i am getting sick of being put down then being asked to help...now i am speaking up and this world needs to think about tomorrow not today...it even applies to buying things.."i want it now" well how about wait for a change, get some patience world and stop wrecking the only place we have to "live"!
