The homes, hospitals, and streets in York are not like the ones we are familiar with in London. Electricity grids do not exist. Usually, people rely on kerosene lighting. Kerosene is highly dangerous, bad for inhalation, and is expensive. When kerosene is not affordable, the day’s productivity is dictated by the available sunlight.
The United Nations calls this energy insecurity. Sustainable energy sources are essential to a community’s productivity and ability to grow. It contributes to improved education as children can become better students, parents can increase productivity, hospitals can serve patients, and scarce income can be better spent. To sympathize, consider how often you turn on the light or rely on electricity during the day and night.
