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.
With the unusual weather lately, I have a feeling that this summer is going to be incredibly hot. I hope these things work so we don't have to run up our A/C bill!

That's interesting that you say that. I've actually been wondering if it will be a cooler than usual summer but my husband is convinced we are seeing a global warming change over the past ten years. Winters are certainly warmer and less snowy here in the Northeast...

Yeah...I have a coworker who has all sorts of conspiracies, even on weather changes, so some of it kind of sticks and makes sense haha...in a way I hope he's wrong! Some of it sounded scary!
