I'm a do-it-yourselfer, interested in creating a personal environment which is more comfortable for myself and my husband. Our house has wonderful windows looking out onto woods -- but imagine the heat loss when it's 10 below zero (F). Here, I am pictured putting one of our Window Blankets in place. You create them yourself (you cannot buy them). home.woh.rr.com/coffeyrush/WindowB.htm Think what a difference it would make if everyone covered just one window this way (bathroom window is simplest). (But - oh! - the neighbors might laugh at you!)
My husband and I try to let our hearts be our guide about what is sensible behavior, rather than worrying about what our neighbors or others think about our lifestyle. This disregard sometimes helps us be more environmentally conscientious.

After moving into our beautiful house overlooking a nature preserve, we realized the cost of heating and cooling our dream home would be phenomenal. It was like living in a greenhouse, with all the wild swings of temperature one finds in a desert. Our cold nights were very very cold and our hot days were sometimes too much for our A/C to handle.
