Saving Energy : Air Conditioner

     That season has come : The time when I can use cold water for shower and get sweaty soon as I leave the shower. Summer. And the climate is increasing. I survived the last year without use of Air Conditioner. I'm sure I can survive another year without it. There is one hanging right on top of my Refrigerator. And I've never even tempted to use it so far.
     Some people say Global Temperature Climate, limited resources of Oil, Water and Energy such as Electricity and destroying Natural Environment are all exaggerated statements and it's nothing to be concerned about. That it is perfectly fine to keep the Air Conditioner and all the other electricities on in the room while staying away from home for days so things would stay cool when they return home from exhausting travel.
     It's kind of like how people made a sound excuse about street baggers and how we should not throw them coins in their buckets because those poor people would just use that money to buy drinks. That good people should rather buy them some food that they can eat. While to me those both sounds like they're going to result just about the same thing : Bagging to death. Differences is that drinking would be their own choice with resources they have until their time to go to a permanent rest, while food would keep them alive little longer doing the same thing they've been doing for forever until their permanent rest. Now, I've seen some money left around in their bucket. Not much, but it means some soft hearted people still can't pass by that buckets without some sort of donation that's given by their own bare hands. But then I've never seen anybody actually buying them food or water or one of them actually carrying one. And I understand why people don't want to stop and turn several more corners to get them some food. I know I never have, and I'm saying that not exactly being proud of it. But I got places to go, I got energy to flow. I just don't have enough time to deliver them some temporary food while I'm traveling in a capital city unless I do happen to have time and one of them happen to be in the right place. But that never happened. But I can give them little bit of the money I have, which is much easier. All I gotta do is reach for my pocket and pull out my wallet or something shiny that people likes to trade. Surely, I may have as well given them death sentence letting them drinking to death. But how does anyone even know that bagger would really keep on drinking until suffocate in their own vomit? I know at least one of the lady who bag for money and then buy food for her kitties she hang around with. No one seems to know about that type of baggers.
     I'm gonna say the same thing about Global Climate and all that wasting Energy and stuff like that. To me they seems to apply.



     There are millions of theories and some of them said they're even scientifically proven wether our habit of wasting resources are killing the nature or even in the opinions that oppose that idea. There are bases for both of them. But I'm not the type who just believe in everything just because everybody around me seems to be saying so. I need something I've actually done or been through or seeing consistently or at least having some reasonable clues that I can believe in that doesn't hurt anything else or at least just causing reasonable minimum damages balancing other positive resolutions. So here's a bit curious part about this Global Climate : Have I, or anyone who commonly talk about, actually traced down the source of the disaster and seen one? Well, beside the philosophical theory that everything is connected universally, that is. Beside that, I'm talking about the main flow of things enough that I can feel it over my guts and skin. Like the ones that I can definitely feel this weathers are getting worse every year. But do I really know it's being cause by the mankind just because they're so greedy and multiplied by their overpopulated factor since that's our nature and instincts are keep telling us to be so? Or is it just our latest Ice Age slowly melting and our planet is just doing what she's ever been doing and we're just freaking out because she's so big and powerful and we tend to hesitate upon changes? Or both, perhaps? No, I haven't seen them. They're interesting and fun to talk about and sounds very reasonable that maybe I can swing by for motivation once in a while. But I don't actually entirely believe in either of them enough to bet my own life and grave to the bank, or whatever they quote about it.
     So, that put me back in the point '0'. So I got this opportunity to think from a fresh new. And here's where I'm going. And this is quite simple and easy to remember, really, comparison to whatever else I just sorted out of the case.
     Two 'what if's. And I know I certainly got nothing to worry about if we're not the source of the climate. So that's however I want and I usually don't feel the urge to use more than I need so I'm supposing that's perfectly fine. But what if there was a twist, and what if we are breaking the nature? One of them has consequences. One of them has the entirety of humanity at stake. So why not looking out for it whenever I can, just in case? Back up plan, being prepared, however people named for it. And in that matter, I actually can do those little things all the time. Use less water, use less electronics, buy less things and less falling into temptations even when others tend to rub that on me once in a while, media included. Not some of the very difficult things to do, are they? And that saved me my money quite a lot as well. And in fact, that's another factor why I would rather save the energy. Those bills could go insane sometime and I have other plans. I just don't wanna pay more than I should pay.
     And that there is, I'm positive, some good enough reasons why I locked and saving Air Conditioner bill. And that also brought a fun challenge to play with. It's called, 'Will I survive the jungle without technology?'. Hell, I'm actually cheating and got a roof over my head what I call cave made of concrete and all the technologies I'm happy to be living with. And it's just one thing I removed from all that coziness. And if I can't even survive that, well.. I would hate to lose the game and marked as a failure of evolution.
