We live in an old house. My wife decided to replace the ceiling fan in one of the rooms with a chandalier that befit the age of the home. However, we decided to try out some new LED candelabra lights we had purchased recently from Sam\u2019s Club.<\/p>\n
They worked. And they look ok. A sort of modern edge to a decades old lighting fixture.\u00a0 I think for the sake of \u201cgoing green\u201d \u2013 we can be forgiven for not using regular light bulbs.<\/p>\n
The interesting part is that the packing for the LED lights say that they consume about 1.6 cents of power per\u00a0year per light bulb. Wow! So, if they consume so little, do we still turn off the lights when we leave the room? Do we need to anymore?<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s take it a step further. Suppose we come up with robots that can pick up litter on the highway. Is it ok to litter since it\u2019ll get picked up?<\/p>\n
When is it ok to eliminate a habit we\u2019ve been taught? Or perhaps we should just keep the habit and let the next generation not learn it. But, isn\u2019t this sort of difference between generations what makes the younger mock the older?<\/p>\n
We still turn off the chandalier when we leave the room. But, perhaps if we forget, we\u2019ll feel a little less guilty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
