Although you're right that that energy is not spent cooking, it is helping to heat your home, and save you mental energy. Energy you can spend calculating how much energy you're actually saving.

You're talking about a couple hundred watts. You could cook non-stop for your entire life and you still wouldn't waste as much energy as a single flight with a modern airplane.

We're spending more just typing on our phones today, considering the phone, the inefficient charger left plugged in, the server of the platform we're posting on.

Try seeing of any of the lamps in your house can be upgraded to led. That could save you hundreds of watts for hours every day. (hundreds of watts per hour).
Go to work by bicycle, or train, or bus. (thousands of watts a day)\

    Before I watch, I am wondering. And maybe this is a stupid question.

    Why do I keep seeing these posts of conservatives caring a lot about things, that I've never heard in context of conservative stuff before?

    Not polluting in the First place would've been cheaper, but then some rich guy wouldn't be as rich. These kinds of ecosystems can be fragile when overall temperatures change and/or too much foreign material is added

    This may be a stupid idea, but to my knowledge metals is are some of the best materials when it comes to being easily recyclable.

    Ignoring the cost and reusability, wouldn't recyclable disposable cups made of metal be a better deal than the largely incinerated plastic cups?
