I’ve often wondered what the energy savings would be if people brewed their tea at, say 92 or 95c instead of a rolling boil.
."Or, as Tom Williams puts it, “As soon as humans can interact with something, we mess it up.” We often boil more water than we need, using more energy than we need. We also do things like leaving the stove or microwave running after the water has already reached a boil."

Someone I spoke to recently drew parallels between Western consumerism and responses to trauma. No matter how evident it is that we’re being self-destructive, we simply refuse to change because of reasons we can’t fully comprehend (on a societal level; there are exemplary eco-conscious individuals here and out there).
