This whole energy consumption thing is getting so ridiculous!  The press
runs stories that make you feel guilty about your 5W energy consumption
while the guy who runs the media empire is flying off to dinner in
Paris on his private jet.  

Try to acquire some sense of proportion.  In the overall scheme of
things 5W is nothing.  It is so small it is even undetectable on your
own electric bill.

If you want to save the world, focus your personal energy where it will
do some good.  When tackling any large problem you have to analyze it
and figure out an approach that gets the biggest impact with the least
cost/effort.  Why devote energy to saving 5W when a similar expenditure
of personal effort may save 5 Megawatts?  Think BIG, not small.

For example, instead of posting messages on audio forums about saving
5W, post messages to your congressmen and senators about the big
problems in the world.  Organize groups of people to do the same.  The
effort is the same but the effect is potentially much larger.
