Most people are trying their best to be a bit more green or eco friendly with their choices at home.
One thing that takes quite a bit of energy and isn't that green is your air conditioner.
In many parts of the country it's so warm and humid that this is almost needed.
Find out what you can do that will help keep you cool and be more green.
Start off with a simple thing like blocking your windows with blankets.
During the day the sun will shine through your windows and heat up your home.
If you block this sunlight, your home will be a few degrees cooler.
This also helps keep what air conditioning you are using inside your home better as it might otherwise be leaking out of the window's poor seal.
Go take a quick hot shower.
This should not last more than a few minutes.
The point of it is to feel the warm water on your skin and body.
Once you are out of the shower the room that might have felt a bit too warm will now feel cooler even though it's still the same temperature.
Drink more water.
Water especially cool water will help you cool down.
If you get dehydrated, you are going to heat up quite a bit.
Drink water all day long and you will be much cooler.
Try to avoid eating extremely large meals.
The more you have to digest, the hotter you are going to feel.
If you spread your meals out through the day and don't eat so much, you will feel much cooler.
Limit the use of certain appliances in your home.
Something like the oven will heat up your home and should be avoided.
Use simpler things like meals that might not need an oven to cook to keep the temperature of the room lower.
