Happy Earth Day!

Wednesday, April 23, 2008

Actually, Earth Day was yesterday. I, sadly, did not do anything to honor this day. Yes, yes, I should have been a more responsible person. Actually, we should all be more responsible. We shouldn't only care for the earth on that one day. We should care for the earth every single day.

Just the other day, I was thinking about the damage air-conditions have on the atmosphere. Every single air-cond is releasing CFC into the air, we are all aware of that. But think about it, the hotter the air gets, the more people use air-conds. People all over are installing more and more units in their houses. Each day, every house has more than one air-cond on. Now, the more air-conds we use, the more CFC is released into the air, the hotter the air becomes. It's like a whole cycle, "damage cycle". We use more air-conds, air becomes hotter, again we use more air-conds......it goes on! Maybe it's time we start reducing the use of air-conds. We just switch on the air-cond for a while till the room cools down, and then switch it off and use the fan.
