Who Knew the UK Drank So Much Tea? Maybe Their Streets Are Dark?
Please use browser back button to return to the rest of EverydayDisasters.com.I generally keep away from the causes of global warming and whether & which mitigating factors should be pursued because:
1) What if the skeptics are right & it really issun spots, 6 billion people breathing out, too many cows not fed NO-GAS, aliens, or whatever making it hot – we still may end up with a rather unpleasent problem on our hands.
2) Many sites already address things that may mitigate one of the few things we can control – CO2 emissions.
3) I’m more interested in communities taking local actions to plan for problems on the long-range horizon.
Given that, I couldn’t resist this mitigation technique from tearfund.org:
Only boil the water that you need for your cup of tea. If everyone boiled just the water they needed, the energy saved could power over three-quarters of the UK’s streetlights.
