This means you waste water, fertiliser, soil, and even the fuel used to transport your food. Some of the appliances that you need to pay extra attention to include the fridge (clean the coils), the dryer (inspect the lint filter regularly), and the air-conditioner (perform regular clean-ups). They also consume less energy.

This is way more efficient than running your air conditioner. If that doesn’t work, use public transportation. If you get hot, put a cooler shirt on or run a fan. The ideal summer temperature for your house is 78 degrees F. Don’t waste gas. Use your car less and use your legs more.

Poor me, it was very hot and we just had a little tiny window air conditioner. That was true for me as well, but I also think that poverty is a very relative concept.

Transportation- car note, car insurance, maintenance, gas, etc. For example, your electric bill may be higher in periods of more extreme weather if you use your air conditioner and heat to offset the temperature outside. Utilities- electricity, propane & gas, water & sewage. Telephone/cell phone.
