Who Really Saves Energy?

One day, two men were talking about saving energy.The first man was wealthy. The second had very little money. The rich man said proudly, “I just bought a beautiful electric car! It’s fast, silent, and I never need to stop for gas again. I’m really doing my part for the environment.” The poor man smiled and replied, “I can’t afford an electric car, so I ride my bike to work every day.” The rich man looked surprised. “A bike? But that must be exhausting!” “Maybe,” the poor man said, “but I don’t use electricity or fuel. And it keeps me healthy, too.” Just then, a businessman flew overhead in a private jet just to have lunch in another city. That single flight used more energy than an entire family would in a year. The two men looked at each other. “So,” said the poor man, “who’s really saving energy?” The rich man paused… then gave a sheepish smile. “Maybe I’m saving less than I thought.”
