Those chilluns’s families need to lead by example, eh?
Walk, ride bicycles, take public transit. Never drive.
Keep their hoses at 68 in winter, 76 in summer.
Lights and electronics off at 10 pm.
Dry laundry on clotheslines.
No sports vehicle usage (boats, atv’s, campers).
Use only an un-powered reel lawn mower.
Hand shovel snow.
76 in the summer? How about 80? I live in one of the hottest urban cemters of the country and keep my thermostat no lower than 78 and leave it at 80 during peak times and when I’m not home(Due to pets) otherwise it would be slightly higher. Actually they shouldn’t have any AC on. How hot does it get in Massachusetts anyway?
I keep my house at 60 summer and winter.
I detest heat.
