Today was a fasting day.
As I wrote a few days ago we are experiencing a heat wave in Paris (and many other places) at the moment. A number of people (mainly American) have complained about the lack of air conditioning in Paris and asked me if I have any. My standard response is no I don't have a/c and if I did I would rip it out. One of the first things I do when I arrive in a hotel (even in India or Australia) is switch off the air conditioning. For some reason I find it much more disturbing than heating. I find that a/c disconnects you from your environment, also it is a prime contributor to global warming representing around 10 % of residential energy consumption. So people use a/c to compensate for increasing heat which in turn causes global warming. And we are supposed to be the rational species on the planet?
There is such a simple alternative solution, yes you guessed it : Cold Showers (no energy consumption involved)
