Learning To Change

August 31st, 2010 posted by admin

My Granddad doesn’t like change. That’s putting it mildly. He hates it if the TV controller is put on the wrong-arm rest, and he practically yells the house down if it gets put there the wrong way around before his favourite TV show is about to start. But it isn’t just Granddads up and down the country who don’t like change, of course, we’re all guilty of it. Think about it: when was the last time you met someone who was constantly changing their attitude to life? And we all know why this is: we like it when things are familiar and comfortable and safe, and so it isn’t really surprising that so many people find it hard to make steps in a different direction, out of their comfort zone towards something altogether new. This is what the following article is all about, except in a more energy-efficent kind of a way. If you’re thinking about getting more energy efficient and changing the way you live in terms of trying not to pollute our great atmosphere as much then you should have a read if the Enigin Blog.
Another factor which gets in the way with us humans is sentimentality. That old kettle you own, the crap completely not-energy-efficient one, why don’t you throw it out? Well because its like an old friend, isn’t it? It’s been there with you through the hard times, providing you with tea when you were down and coffee when you were up, and throwing it away just seems…oh…a bit cruel if you ask me. But change can be good, and if you’re going to do it then why not make the world a greener place in the process?
