Attitudes of less emissions
Attitudes of less emissions
Our preference is always to point out what "others" need to do to reduce emissions.
I propose that we assess what each of us is doing by answering the following 3 questions.
1. Car
Do we buy a "big", "stylish", powerful car or do we prefer to choose a small one that generates less emissions to be produced and, later during its useful life, which also consumes less fuel?
2. Air conditioning
Do we install air conditioning in our home to maintain an optimal degree of comfort or do we just choose ventilation to reduce energy consumption and emissions?
3. Bath
Do we use showers that consume electricity/gas or do we install solar heaters that "use" the sun primarily?
Along the same lines, questions could be asked at a "macro" level. For example, will Brazil take vigorous initiatives to reduce emissions or will it prefer to appeal to rich countries" to foot the bill" just as a list of politicians and public managers advocates?

The Energy Central Power Industry Network is based on one core idea - power industry professionals helping each other and advancing the industry by sharing and learning from each other.
If you have an experience or insight to share or have learned something from a conference or seminar, your peers and colleagues on Energy Central want to hear about it. It's also easy to share a link to an article you've liked or an industry resource that you think would be helpful.
