AC

Don't get me wrong. I love AC; necessary for those hot muggy days where you can cut the air with a knife. Or those days you can't sit in your car without being baked alive. Absolute necessity. But I don't like those people who turn up their AC as soon as they stop using their heat. Why is the earth so inhospitable that it couldn't possible create a comfortable or sustainable home for its inhabitants? When can clean air enter their home? How much dust, dirt and debris are you forcing yourself and your family to inhale? Especially with children, what are the chances of asthma and other infections increasing? (I would like to know these numbers... I know it at least doubles) This more than annoys me- it saddens me. Embrace your fucking inner hippie and open a fucking window. I'm not saying you have to move into a yurt and eat only Yak's milk and lentils but try passive cooling systems? I have only used my AC three times this year and we've had temps over 100. Not that I am some shining example of environmentalism. I fly around the world frequently and my car gets 25 mpg. Okay this is serious ramble territory. Bah. Stop wasting electricity and fossil fuels. I'm done. I swear.
