I have not shared any of my thoughts in a while, and I have one that I just can’t understand. I payed my hydro bill today just like, millions of people do all the time. My bill was over two hundred dollars. This to me is a lot of money. If I just pay two hundred dollars every two months in one year’s time I will have paid twelve hundred dollars. There for in ten years I will have paid twelve thousand dollars.
Then I looked out my bedroom windows, and you will never guess what I saw. It was crazy… just thinking about it hurts my brain. It was very sunny outside but yet looked very windy. You could see the flag over the harbour police station blowing very quickly. As it almost looked like a perfect rectangle. The trees around naked from the winter all blowing back and forth in the wind. At I thought to my self “I am surrounded by free power”. The only think I am using right now that takes power is my computer, the fridge and one clock. Is there not one way I could harness my own power to just be able to run my computer and some lights in my bed room. I will never understand how everything we need is around us but don’t take advantage of it, and sit around and watch how people are forced to go without. I believe there is an answer in my question that could help a lot of people.
Our personal consumer choices have ecological, social, and spiritual consequences. It is time to re-examine some of our deeply held notions that underlie our lifestyles.” – David Sazuki
