- Personally I will have to shrink my 3 fish tanks to only 1 fish tanks and remove the old fans and replace with a more efficient fan.

There are so many ways to cut utilities cost but each of it means a small sacrifice to the daily lives of many urban people in Singapore.

My position is to conserve as much electricity as possible and use more efficient electronics and of course use when only in need.

One of my friend is a support of total electronic shut down and go back to a time without electricity.

Other than lights in his room, he self declared not to use the computer, Internet, wall plugged radio, game consoles and anything electronics.

This cut in electricity tariff is temporary as oil prices won’t remain low forever and this current drop in oil prices may boost demand in the future as the 3rd world countries suddenly found themselves able to afford a car and the gasoline to run them.

Eventually these poor people starts to base their lives on petrochemical products that they had never able to afford previously and can’t live without them afterwards.

Things from gasoline to power motor vehicles to commute to work instead of the trusty bicycle to oil produced pesticides and plastic bags instead of hand made bags of natural materials.

Now, the world felt a sense of false relieve due to the dropping of oil prices…and forget about conservation and preservation.
