Heading for $200?

This week oil reached US$120 per barrels. It leaves big smiling faces to the money men of the oil producing nations. Who would imagine even during last year that oil would break the $100 dollar barrier? Who would imagine during the oil crisis 10 years ago when lots of people were laid off and oil was selling at just over $10. Indeed the world has changed. There are more demands for raw materials and energy now specially as the 1 billion Chinese and 1 billion Indians suddenly woken up and are now chasing the American dream.

Yet in this current increasing cost of living, people need to adjust their living style. The big movement now in Western world is to go green. It calls for a whole different way of conducting your life and how you can make a difference. For example there are few simple things that you can do that leads to less wastage. Like switching off lights when leaving a toilet or a room. Like using less air-conditioning. Like having less cars – Bruneian has to really kick the habit of having 3 to 10 cars in the garage!
