Quote:You can start now. Try cutting your energy consumption by half. Try to use 1/2 your current electricity, 1/2 your current heating bill and 1/2 your current fossil fuels in your autos. Let me know how you do.
A Mr. Gore, on the other hand is a fear mongering hypocrite.
I don't like this reasoning.It is just like saying that e.g. a socialist can not have a nice house without being a hypocrite.
Anyway, apart from flying (mainly work related) I have a very low energy consuming lifestyle. I use almost no energy for heating my house and go to most places by bike or public transport. I can give you a longer list, but the point I already made some time ago is that a lot of energy saving can be done by doing small things that don't even change your lifestyle by a single bit, the only direct visible consequence is a lower electricity bill.
There are 100s of things a man can do but most people will only do them if energy becomes too expensive.
