Like a hot tub: Water temperatures off Florida soar over 100 degrees

You can only do so much. Life was set up this way for us by countless generations before us. You can reduce your energy requirements, reduce/reuse/recycle, but it will only help so much at the individual level. Never stop trying. Never stop trying to convince your friends and family to reduce their footprint. I bug my SO every time they put something recyclable in the trash or they buy something we don't need.

But the world is burning because of greed and we can't individually put an end to that. Live your life, do what you can, share love. It's the best we can do right now.

What makes Philips Hue lights so great?

They're solid networked bulbs. They just work and there's no annoying flicker like you may get with PWM LED bulbs. I like being able to change the color of them depending on my mood and the vibe. Friday night comes around and I set everything to fun colors, blast some music, have friends over, etc., it's a good time and the bulbs contribute. I have a light strip around the mirror in my bathroom and another strip under my cabinets in the kitchen which provide better lighting than the ceiling lights.

I also sometimes set everything to red at night since it's easier on the eyes. It's nice being able to have super cool white for doing work, and warmer (sometimes nearly orange/red) for relaxing in the evening.

You could use Govee instead, they're a little cheaper, but IMO Hue is generally nicer quality.
