Green, Green, Green.
We all, okay, well most of us, want a green world to live in.
We take all manner of means to help promote a greener world and to keep to a green lifestyle. We want governments to legislate in favour of a green future. Even energy companies talk the talk and some even walk the walk, providing various energy-saving measures to their customers. And companies, large and small claim to be greening up their operations.
Companies, that is, except for the shops on the high street and in shopping centres and malls.
For some reason they seem to think that to be green means providing their customers with nice fresh air by keeping their doors open all during their open hours. And in order to keep their customers comfortable with the doors wide open, in the winter they run their heating at full blast to counter the cold fresh air. And in the summer they run their air conditioning at full blast to counter the hot fresh air.
As some people like to say, "Eh?!?!? What's that all about?!?!?!?"
Why don't green activists protest this practice?
Why don't government agencies put a stop to this practice?
Can there really be a legitimate reason and green benefits to this practice?
ARGH!
