Turn Down the Heat, Turn Up the Savings

In frigid winter, there are few feelings better than warmth. A warm bed, a warm bath or shower, and a cup of hot tea are luxuries that we would be loath to part with.
At the same time, we might be paying out the nose to enjoy them.

By being conservative with the temperature settings in our homes, we can reduce drastically the amount of money spent heating them.

I live comfortably at 62 degrees Fahrenheit with socks and a sweater during the winter, and comfortably at 75 degrees Fahrenheit with light pants and a linen shirt during the summer.

I save on air conditioning, heat, and let the environment keep a little more of it's energy rich materials for the next generation.

Win-win-win!
