Here Sarah's groovy green tips for Wednesday, November 3rd:
• This morning instead of idling my car to defrost the windows, my husband moved it into the sun for me. We save gas and limit our emissions impact that way! Besides, I hate scraping!
This morning I got a big taste of what’s to come in the cooler seasons ahead when I walked out of my carpeted bedroom onto the hard cement floor of my living room. The feeling has just returned to my toes. That got me turning my thoughts toward my drafty home. This year, we’ve decided to cut back on our heat a bit to save a few bucks a month. So it’s very important we make sure our house is air tight and ready for winter. It’ll be here before we know it! Catching those drafts is probably the easiest task to start with. Making sure you’ve applied caulk where you can around windows to seal those leaks. If you live in an older house and don’t want to replace those antique windows, and who would blame you? Then why not buy a window insulation kit? Installed correctly, the plastic is virtually invisible unless you come up right against it and it’s an inexpensive alternative to replacement. Adding a buffer against drafts and extra still air space can give a nice boost to your older home's ability to hold heat. Bundling up, and keep the warm air in on the Go Green Ride at Five.
