A dandy site for calculating how to save energy..and found out my computer is not really an energy 'culprit' in the overall scheme of things.

is that most people don't want to.</B> That's why people
bought SUV's in droves. (Yes, the price of gas used to be
lower, but the point is, even then, people were still buying
the <I>most wasteful vehicles available to them</I>. The
fact that they used to be affordable is fairly irrelevant.)
When I go to the gym, I see that everyone has turned on the
little TV attached to the treadmill or exercycle. I always
go and turn them all off, but probably 90% of the people who
use those machines again will turn the TV back on and leave
it on when they leave. That's an easy way to see why we've
got a problem. If most people won't do an <I>easy</I> thing,
like turning off a TV when they're not using it, how can we
expect them to do things that actually require a tiny amount
of effort?</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/A3456C30-BA86-46AA-9C95-69607CF31228/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
