These provide us with shade (homes); cool breezes (air conditioning); and fuel (eneergy for micowave, coffeemaker, etc). We all hate them in our backyard, but we consume more electricity every year. Our computers, microwave ovens, battery and small electric chargers, lights, larger TV and HES (Home Entertainment Systems
); laptops, PSII, Gamecubes, VCRs, Tivo and DVRs. Well I think you get it. We are certainly reap what we have sown. More wood for larger homes that we spend less time in; not more. Bigger kitchens, bedrooms as large as 1950s era houses. 60 Minutes reported on the number of hours corporate workers spend at their jobs or connected to their jobs. Amazingly the small appliances keep us connected to the workplace, yet they do not make us more productive (efficient). We are number 4 or so on the list - right after some of those lazy Europeans who take many hours of vacation each year. What is going on? Your guess is as good as mine. But I would fathom a simple guess - we have our priorities confused.
