Bundle Up

With fall and winter approaching we have to stay warm, but still be eco-friendly. That means not turning up the heat and emitting fossil fuels into the air. Here are some ways to keep your house warm without cranking up the heater. Inspired by the Daily Green's post.

1) Run your fan backwards. Some fans have handy-dandy switches to make the fan spin in reverse therefore heating the room or space. 


2) Use a draft snake. Place a draft snake next to your door, blocking between the floor and the door.You can easily make one by cutting off a sleeve from an old long sleeve t-shirt and filling it with sand or rice, and sewing both ends closed. 


3) Hang heavier curtains. They will let the sun flow through and keep the heat in your room or house. 


4) Close off any unused rooms. By closing off unused rooms "the closed door makes that room another barrier between you and the frigid outdoors. It also stops air from circulating as much, which reduces heat loss." -http://www.wikihow.com/Stay-Warm-at-Home-Without-a-Heater


5) WEAR A SWEATER!!! I think that is pretty self-explanatory. :)
