Summer will be here before we know it! What are some ways to stay cool and be environmentally friendly at the same time?
One little thing we do, is open windows all night to let the cool air in and close them (or partially close) them in the warmer hours. This seems to keep the house cooler longer. A big help is the trees in our front yard. They are about 10 years old and provide beautiful shade in the summer!

Sombrero Fallout 904c2f2f-4e79-40b4-8830-16b4909b1948 The wearer of this fallout will receive many funny looks, but there can be no doubt that this is truly a king Sombrero in a world reduced to poor imitations.
A good idea is to close blinds and curtains when the sun is falling on a room to reduce the solar gain in the space. It means you don't get to appreciate the sunlight, but it's certainly practical in bedrooms.
