Someone Must Own Stock in the Electric Company
Why would anyone paint if there is no drywall or water damage, and the past paint job still looks fairly good? Walls collect dirt just like everything else, and maybe some small scruffs from moving furniture. But nothing that would jump out at the average person to say "this wall really needs a coat of paint."
I have a sense that the point of painting the walls is to impress others (remember all you executive types reading this post, people are not impressed by the work you do, they want to see something fancy, totally unrelated to your line of work -- think Kozlowski and his $6,000 shower curtain, or any of those other crooks).
What about painting a room with something that is not a light colour that will reflect a lot of light back into the room, but that is a colour that will absorb a good amount of light. So the room will be darker.
How do you use a dark coloured room? Well, by turning on more lights. And these are not your super energy efficient light bulbs either. These seem to be the type that really use a lot of electricity.
And more electricity means more CO2 and NOx. Oh, oh, and sulfur dioxide (wouldn't want to forget that)
And in case you didn't realize, electricity isn't free.
So I ask you: Who owns stock in the electric company?

Andy Weaver, Very informative. Great to see such that fresh sites are still out there. If you know anything about christmas fancy dress or christmas fancy dress feel free to send a post onto my blog. Thanks again
Andy Weaver, stumbled upon your site accidently but it was such a fascinating read i was hooked for a good half hour. I'm currently trying to rekindle my blog on christmas fancy dress but i feel my first few posts may have deterred people from responding. If you could post one for me, I feel it would help me collect information about christmas fancy dress. Thanks again for the great read!
