| Here
are some quick fixes to help keep that lovely warm or cool air (depends on
the season!) inside your home and to reduce greenhouse
gases. |
| |
|
 |
Show
off your clothes! If you
feel a chill, put on a sweater!! And a big pair of wooly socks
while you are at it! Mmm... |
| |
|
 |
Don’t
leave your windows open in the winter!! If its too hot, turn down the
heat! When friends come to
visit get them to come in the house or you go outside so that you
don’t leave your door wide open and lose warm or cool air. |
| |
|
 |
Use
weather-stripping around your doors (ask your parents what that is!) …get newer windows…
use
shrink-wrap to cover your windows in the winter…do anything to keep
the drafts out! The more cool air that gets into your home, the
more your family has to pay in heating bills! |
| |
|
|
|
Don’t
use an air conditioner unless it is very, very hot… or don’t use one
at all!! If you leave your curtains and windows open at night you
will cool your home down. Then first thing in the morning, CLOSE
those windows and curtains and TRAP that cool air inside. Its like
magic!! |
