Okay, My Tips Yesterday On Oil Conservation May Have Been Rooted In Sarcasm And Cynicism, But Try These Real, Yet Obvious, Ideas

Yesterday I resorted to cynicism and sarcasm to make a point about energy conservation in the hopes that such a Swiftian/Voltarian/Wildeian approach would resonate and be realized as a level of painful truth. But to be serious for just one moment, I provide this link to a blog article about consumption and the ever increasing price of gas. I especially want to point out these oh so obvious tips from the article:

The solution lies in making choices as boring as picking up that
fluorescent light bulb. The answer is conservation.

Drive less.
Take public transit.
Walk.
If it's too far to walk, use a bike.
If it's too far to bike, and there is no public
transportation, car pool.
If you can't car pool, use a smaller, more
efficient vehicle.
If you have a long commute, move closer to work.
If you can't move closer, take a closer job.
If you can't get a different job, see if you
can telecommute.

We're all going to have to make changes whether we like it or not. This crisis is not going away any time soon, if at all
