Unintended Consequences...

I think that many of us are guilty of providing unintended consequences. I know that I leave lights on many times while I go out. This wastes energy, causes the electricity bill to go up, and can cause the lightbulb to burn out quicker.

Another example would be to leave the water running while you are brushing your teeth. This wastes a TON of water. By wasting all this water, we are using up a valuable resource. While the earth is covered 75% by water, it will not be here forever at the rate we are using it.

Also, I think a great example of this can be found at www.trashtoash.com
