Eco-Lunacy

I will admit that gaming consumes a lot of electricity (see this article). But since I plan to take up video game development in the future, I don't care. If I get a ton of money, I might install solar panels on my house.

I'm not actually sure why I'm obsessed (for the most part) with eco-friendliness. My wild guess would be, 20% of it came from seeing tons and tons of environment awareness information, 20% came from my hatred against motor vehicle gases, while 60% came from sheer laziness preventing me from giving a plastic bag to a customer.
Ironically, my eco-friendliness wasn't directly motivated by content in a video game, unlike my addiction to fighting.

Here are some examples of my eco-friendly attitude (not including the obvious ones like turning off faucets and unplugging):

• I use gadgets at the lowest possible brightness. (Great for stealth.)
• I often bring my own bags when shopping.
• I'm willing to cycle for several kilometers, even if using a car is more "sensible" for the average Joe. (Plus, I'm a BAD driver--just kidding)
• I hold on to my garbage when there's nowhere appropriate to throw it in, then immediately ask staff for the nearest garbage bin. I wanna do a cleanup project at some point.
• I avoid giving plastic bags to customers at my family store, unless the products are too large or heavy to carry.
• When dishwashing, I collect the used-up soapy water and use it to flush the toilet. Credits to my mother for that strategy.
• I sometimes draw on cardboard from cereal boxes. I've made some custom Minecraft swords and fought YoSquid with them, but they're broken now. I also drew on a used receipt.
• I set the air conditioner between 26°C and 28°C at a low fan setting when I'm staying in a hotel. I "freeze" at lower temperatures or faster fan speeds because I'm used to the tropical heat of the Philippines. I also never use air conditioning at home.
• I usually duplex-print (i.e. print on both sides of a sheet of paper).

Video Game Eco-Friendliness

• In vanilla Minecraft Survival, I avoid using iron and diamond tools, weapons, and armor, unless I have to fight tough enemies like bosses or players. I only use iron equipment against weak hostile mobs when I'm in a village that spawns iron golems. Additionally, I only enchant diamond equipment, and favor Unbreaking and Looting/Fortune.
• Similarly, if I had The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, I would typically use Boko weapons, regular arrows, and Remote Bombs. I also prefer sneak attacks and headshots. I'm not afraid to fight a Guardian with just a Boko Shield.
