Turn off your lights. Turn off your Air Conditioner. Turn of the god damned Microwave when you're not using it. I don't mean on the device, I'm talking : switch the damn thing off at the wall! I tried googling the amount of electricity consumed just to power the standby light, but honestly, my search probably consumed more energy(on all accounts) than it was worth.
If you're not convinced that we are in a shitty place and we need to make extreme changes to a) the population of planet earth b) the energy consumption of the population of planet Earth and c) the resource consumption of the population of planet Earth. Click here. In short; there are way too many of us and we each use/consume way too much! Even if we reduce the population by some great miracle (by no inhumane or ungodly(any god) methods of course!) the leftovers will still be using way too much of our very, very, very precious resources. So.... do we give it all up and hope that our frugal and stinky lifestyles will be the "every bit helps" that matters - or - do we throw all caution to the wind and engage in the ever evident "devil may care" lifestyle... 'live fast and die young" so to speak. It's a tough decision to make. I'm a conservationist. definitely. BUT, I sometimes puke in toilets after drinking too much... what a waste of water. I fall asleep in the shower after the occasional binge... yet another waste of water and often electricity too. I watch movies, TV, listen to the radio.. hell.. I blog for christ's sake and I don't have one single follower. All of this can be argued as a waste of electricity. But heavens to Bettsy I'd be bored to death if I didn't. Come to think of it... wouldn't my death by boredom be a positive outcome for the "Earth"? Population - 1, Energy Consumption - 1, Tana - 0. 0 out of two ain't bad?
