We can actually do a lot of things on our own to make our house more energy-savvy. We should also invest in checking our house's insulation regularly and repairing or buying new, more efficient appliances.Dell Ledermannhttp://randtair.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-721055461531407267.post-67040814909557922842011-05-05T20:35:39.956-04:002011-05-05T20:35:39.956-04:00@Lee May It is nice to meet someone who shares a l...@<a href="#c1012347353791085335" rel="nofollow">Lee May</a> It is nice to meet someone who shares a love of a cold house in winter. It is better for the plants as well. And I always feel strange wearing summer clothes inside when it is freezing outside.The Sage Butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06252906325012065829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-721055461531407267.post-10123473537910853352011-05-05T18:41:02.666-04:002011-05-05T18:41:02.666-04:00Fortunately, my wife and I have always loved cool ...Fortunately, my wife and I have always loved cool rooms for sleeping. Too, I like a cool house in general, as it's not only healthy for us, but for my houseplants as well. I explain to shivering guests that they will be proud when they harden off.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12817320435164750225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-721055461531407267.post-72566072670238449542011-03-27T14:29:43.829-04:002011-03-27T14:29:43.829-04:00@Carol

I became accustomed to this habit when my struggling divorced mother of three turned the heat way down to save money when we were kids. It becomes a way of life and easy. I applaud you for living this way. I also find it uncomfortable when the heat is turned way up. Thank your for your encouraging words!The Sage Butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06252906325012065829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-721055461531407267.post-20656504903573042172011-03-27T12:31:59.442-04:002011-03-27T12:31:59.442-04:00Dear Michelle, This is such an important post and ...Dear Michelle, This is such an important post and one I hope is widely read. We waste so much energy. I too keep my heat at 60 (when I am not heating with wood) and wear warm clothes. My hands are never cold at that temp and truthfully I cannot breathe well in houses so overheated. If everyone would turn down their heat it would make a great impact on our energy consumption. Turning the heat to 55 or lower at night just makes so much sense. I can be even more stoic (though it is not that hard) and turn the heat off when it is not freezing out. Just hopping up early and turning the heat up then going back to sleep for a bit works great. Warm bedding is key and the environment we sleep in is healthier. In small effort towards conserving would help. Wearing tee shirts and going barefoot with the heat turned up to 80 is so costly to the world at large and irresponsible. Great tips!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067132532095325169noreply@blogger.com
