Hi Everyone! Hope you are all having a wonderful Monday.
My environmental tip for the day is a short one. But it is also an incredibly easy one to do! It involves the sun. No one panic, you're not going to get cancer. Probably.
A really great way to keep warm on these very cold winter days is to make use of our friend the sun. The Cherokee called the sun, "Nu-gah" which translates roughly to mean "The Giver of Life" and believe me the sun earned this title. Here are some things you can do to keep your house warm and bright for the winter.
1. Use natural light when ever possible. If it is a sunny day, pull up the shades and turn off the over head lights. The sunlight really is enough, and its better for you and the earth!
2. If your windows face south, try to keep the blinds up as much as possible, southern light is strong and will keep the room warm.
3. The outside world looks pretty, so look out the window as often as possible, and you won't feel quite as bad about the way finals are ruling your life right now (okay, maybe I'm projecting a little...)
Have a great week everyone!
