It irks me that people have to couch this argument in
"environmentalism". I'm much too broke to have the luxury of engaging in
that game of elitist one-upmanship. What I *do* care about is that
number to the right of the $ on my power bills...

That blinking cursor *directly* costs me money that could otherwise go
towards food, bills, rent and paying off debt. Some of us are on a tight
budget.
