maybe we should all go back to wood fires for cooking and warmth, candles or oil lamps for light, Coolgardie coolers for keeping our food cold, listen to the radio (pedal driven or course) or stand around a piano singing songs at night or a good game of scrabble, the kids can play outside after school until it gets dark, no TV, no video games, no computers, no dishwashers, no washing machines, no electric cooking ranges, no air con, cold showers and if they are hot in summer tell them to go under the sprinkler (water bans considering) or cold in winter to put on a jumper like we did as kids.

technology has only created all these marketable devices that make our life easier yet they all are powered by electricity

so we stop buying these items becasue we can't afford to run them
Trev we can't go back that far we would have to kill a whale for lamp oil.

Naughty, naughty.
