I agree. For example, it bother the hell out of me, when in my school they shut the window blinds and turn on the lights (we have really big windows in many rooms, so just let the day light in). The lights should not be used in the day, if not needed.
Same with aircondtioning, do we really need to have some 15°C in the buildings during summer?
I never paid much attention, guess I shoulda known
every far away country is somebody's home
empires rise and empires fall
the world is big enough, there should be room for us all
who are they and why do they hate us?
Planting trees is a good solution to it, but don't forget that trees are only a method of carbon sequestration, it's only a temporary solution, so it'll finally go down to efficiency, technology development, and revolutionary government policies.
