This week I didn't get to use that much natural light, considering that it was raining a lot this weekend, this one kind of failed. But on Saturday night I did a little expieriment. Because we are not that far into the summer the nights are still really cool, so in my brother's room,(he wasn't home) I turned on the air conditioner and shut his door, then in my room I opened the window and shut the door then in the morning I went into both rooms and found that my room was much cooler, so now at night my family opens the windows instead of turning on the air conditioner. This way we are saving a lot more money, and our house is cooler. Opening windows, success. Because of this being able to turn our temperature up hasn't really been an issue. Carpooling, I carpool every morning with Doug to M.L. Day and from there we take the bus. We've been saving energy that way. Also for sports events, or friend get together's, Corinne and I are always in the same car. Also I have been doing the dishes lately so I can make sure that it is completely full before I start it and it's been fairly easy. It's causing me not to have to do dishes as often, and it's still saving energy, it's a win win situation.
Overall I think that I can definitely keep doing this. Once we get more in to the summer I don't think we will be able to open the windows rather then air conditioners. Everything else is still easy to do.
