Beat the heat, stay cool sustainably

In the developed world, 80% of energy is used by residential homes, and around 10% of that is used just for air conditioning! Stay cool without air conditioning with these temperature tips: Wear natural light colored, loose fitting clothing to allow your skin to breathe, stay in the shade, use ceiling fans to keep air moving, eat smaller, lighter meals and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
