Dependance on oil and electricity.

I consume a lot of electricity. Light in my room are on whenever I am in after sundown. I have to work on a computer which consumes more energy than average ones. All my experiments need instruments with high wattage.

Except for the lights in my room, everything is necessary for my job. Use of CFLs decrease  the electricity consumption a bit. Yet, I could do more.

To, reduce dependency on oil, I took walking as commuting means. Of course, I take auto sometimes when I am tired. I know it impossible to live without power in the society I leave but I am trying to minimize the consumption and limit it to what's is essential for me. Well, cars/ motorbikes might be essential for some. For me until now, they are dispensable.
