have become a very common gadget used to make rooms cool. Their use has become widespread and now this luxury is being used on a large scale, so much that people do not think before turning on their air-conditioners in offices, shops and halls even if the weather is pleasant and easily tolerable. However, this habit is proving to be very harmful to both the environment and people's health. Due to
such large amount of use of air-conditioning, the earth is getting hotter and hotter. is a major factor of global warming. Through this page, we are creating awareness regarding this human-induced disaster. If we want to make the environment livable for us and future generations, we will have to control our use of air-conditioning and change our wrong habits. 'A.C.' is perceived by many people only as a comfort that is desirable and should be pursued. This notion must change; the mention of air-conditioning should make people think about the harm caused by it and not it merely as an innocent equipment that is a great boon with no bad consequences. People's attitude has to change. Note - This page is opposed to excessive, unnecessary and irresponsible use of the technology of air-conditioning. We are not against air-conditioning in an absolute sense. There are some instances where the use of A.C. is essential and useful, such as for refrigeration (refrigerators), cold storage, industrial processes, maintaining electrical equipment like internet servers, hospitals, etc.. Other than these, some places have extreme weather conditions where temperatures are very hot and using air-conditioners becomes necessary. However, we are against addiction to air-conditioning. Such excessive use of it when not required is harmful and unethical to yourself and also to nature. It would be good for people to realize this and reduce their A.C. consumption, if not eliminate it, and thus act responsibly. Humans have a quite good capacity to control their body temperature. We should not expect to stay in an environment of the same uniform temperature all year long in all the seaons. Nature does not deserve to suffer the harms of humans' idiotic use of air-conditioning ! This page will give links of various articles about the harms caused by air-conditioning on our environment and health, how this bad habit developed and how we can change our habits to live sustainably so that the environment is not harmed, and at the same time we don't suffer. This page shall also function as a forum to bring people who oppose unnecessary air-conditioning and want to bring change in people's habits and thinking, together and provide a common voice. It will also tell you about eco-friendly ways of staying cool in hot weather.
