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.
For those who insist upon using a fan (more common in the UK than air con in homes) then put some cold water or ice in front of it so that the air it is blowing around is cold. You'll benefit from it a lot more and may need fewer or be able to turn them down a bit.
