I decided to do the same things in the winters
For about a year now I’ve been trying to live as eco-friendly as possible; I feel like this is a usual sentiment and something that you here quite often these days… However, when I say it I am certainly talking about taking things to a current extreme, and you see, rather than just buying a gas-efficient car and trying to cut down on my 2-day deliveries from amazon, I’ve been trying to completely change the entire way I live to be more in line with mother nature. Instead of fighting air hot and cold temperatures, light, and air quality, I have been letting my system naturally follow the patterns of our sun and seasons, and that’s why, in the middle of Summer I’ve been moving my bed down to the basement. I got sleepy of paying for silly central air conditioner cost and fighting the oppressive outdoor temperature every single afternoon, so I decided to simply relocate my sleeping section to the inherently cold basement. That way, I don’t need to fight my naturally high indoor air temperature with extremely luxurious central cooling system treated air each afternoon. Instead, I can walk downstairs and rely on the low temperature underground to naturally supply all the cooling power that I need. I decided to do the same things in the winters. This year, I lugged my mattress up the stairs and relocated my family room to the highest floor of the house. This way, any amount of central heat that is pumped into the house will passablely rise up to the ceiling, where I can absolutely soak it up. I’ve been able to decrease my indoor air temperature settings by 5° this year and my energy bills have never been lower.
