Cool Yourself Off Naturally

Our Go Green tip for today: Adjust your thermostat. Now that the weather is turning warm, open windows and use fans to cool yourself—and your home—down. For those long hours during the day when no one’s home, set your thermostat up higher so you don’t waste all that cold air. By giving your air conditioner (and heater in the winter!) a break, you’re making a huge impact on the environment and your utility bill. Next time you’re cold, put on a sweater instead of turning up the temperature. Before long, it’ll be part of your routine!

Don’t Let Your Money Fly Out the Window

Our Go Green tip for today: Insulate your home. Homes use more energy than cars and planes. By sealing cracks around windows and adding insulation, you can save 30% of the heat that a typical family wastes. This is such an easy way to help the environment and your pocketbook. Your cold toes will thank you come winter!
