EDC 2: OFF or Finally doing what my mother told me
Originally uploaded by Theorris
Years ago my mother used to yell at us kids repeatedly to shut the lights off. Being a kid, of course, I never listened which generally prompted her to yell, yet again, "Do you need every light in the house on!" My zealous desire to light my little part of the world, has lead to the very bad habit of leaving lights on for rooms where no one enters for hours.
This has got to stop--even if I have replaced most of the light bulbs with fluorescent bulbs, it is still a waste. I vow, therefore, to turn lights off when not needed. Hopefully this will stick passed the 6 days left in EDC.
I'm trying to do this to, but mostly it consists of me walking around the house turning off lights that others have left on. But I am the Mother, after all.
ReplyDeleteWell done. We like to hole up in our bedroom, which means that the house is like a cavern with a candle at the very, very back. It's a little daunting to go back in the kitchen for a snack. But there's no one here but us now. Bruiser, to his credit, never leaves the lights on.
