The author visited a shopping mall they used to frequent in order to find something new. They noticed large electric candelabras in one store they had never seen before, and found different styles of candelabras in other stores as well, surprising them since the candelabras were so big. Some stores had dim lighting despite the candelabras and lamps, and these stores had fewer customers. The author suggests stores with dim lighting could develop independent renewable energy systems to provide better lighting.

PAYING ATTENTION

2. I went to the shopping mall that I used to go to in order to
look around the stores where I usually buy my clothes. I wanted
to find something that I have never seen before. I noticed that
one of the stores had a remarkable electric candelabra,
therefore, I sarted to search for other ones. I found different kind
of candelabras which surprised me. Not only did I enter those
stores several times but also the candelabras are huge, how
could I have not noticed them?
Here are some of the pictures that I took.

11. Even with those big candelabras and with other kinds of
lamps around, some of the stores were half-light. I noticed that
the ones with little light had less people inside. If the reason for
making the costumers walk in the semidarkness is saving energy,
there would be an opportunity for those ones that have some
knowledge in renewable energy. They could develop a system to
provide energy for each store independently from other stores.
