My mother believed in having the lights on. She would seem to revel in the presence of television and radio background noise, several lamps on at once, and fans and air conditioners working together in the summer. She was not an environmentalist, but she did like being comfortable and illuminated. Despite my green views, I find it hard to fault her when it gave her such pleasure but I cringe a little at her former carbon footprint.
