Whenever I've had unmetered electricity, I've left the air conditioner running all day at a very low temperature. It's really nice when it's 90 degrees out and you walk into your home and it's 68 degrees. Truly incredible.
I also bought incandescent bulbs because they're cheaper (again, not paying electricity) and look so much nicer.
I take very long hot showers all the time.
I love to get in my car and go for long drives. Just for fun.
Paper plates because I can just throw them away.
Flush early and flush often.
I set my work desktop to stay on all night so I can RDP in without trouble.
For every self-flagellating member of the church of environmentalism, there are ten people like me.
- tonyedgecombe 5y agoYou are going to find it so painful when change is forced on you.
- legalcorrection 5y agoNot really. If the environmentalists ever take over, it's poor people who will be forced to sacrifice their comforts. The middle class will have to take a bit of a financial hit. And the wealthy will carry on like nothing changed.
- tonyedgecombe 5y agoNot really, poor people aren't causing this problem. In fact they stand to gain from many of the changes. It's the rich who have most to lose.
- legalcorrection 5y agoSpoken with the confidence of ignorance of economics.
- tonyedgecombe 5y agoNot really, it's not the poor who are taking flights to Bali or buying new SUV's. Climate change is driven by consumption and the poor don't consume much. They also benefit when you start putting in changes like better public transport, cycle paths, etc.
