    I’m a dad, but I leave lights on all the time, they’re LEDs and could care less about the 5$/yr it adds to the electric bill LMAO

      It’s just as much about the planet. The power has to come from somewhere, and a lot of people couldn’t care less about the 5$/yr.

        It’s only that cheap because the power it uses is inconsequential.

        Besides, shifting the blame for climate change to the average person is exactly what many industries want. “It’s not OUR fault our plants dumped all this pollution because we resisted all the greener ways of power generation, it’s yours because you didn’t turn the thermostat to 85°/Turn off the lights/left your TV in standby/Left your phone charging over night”
