One way forward

I walked into the room with all lights blazing and nobody else in the room. In this day of eco-friendliness, eco-terrorism and eco-posing having all the lights on in an empty room is obviously a no-no.

Another room in the house was also light up like a stage show but it at least had some people in it. Still, I considered so many lights on completely unnecessary.

It occurred (not sure of the actual process) to me that the step we need to make as beings on this planet is to evolve from being wants-driven to being needs-driven. That way the lights that didn't need to be on would be turned off; the cheap plastic toy would be replaced by e.g. a bike ride - they would each last about the same length of time. The examples go on and on.

A change of thought process would also occur. There would obviously be some that would take time to understand that needs and wants are quite different.

There's a lot more to this but I'm tired so I will have to pick it up again another time. If anyone actually reads this I would appreciate your thoughts.
