Props to ConEdison, who now has some great ads in the NYC subway with questions about your "EQ" or Energy Quotient. While most of us already know that showering uses less water than a bath, for example, I was surprised to learn that cell phone & other charges still use electricity when they're plugged in but not charging.
So for these super-hot days, keep cool & green by:
- using A/C only when necessary, or just using a fan or best opening a window
- if you have windows or shades, pull the shades down for the day and open windows at night for natural temperature control
- stay away from dehydrating drinks & foods such as coffee, meats, and alcohol
- drink plenty of water
- but don't water the street! (you wouldn't believe how many people I saw today using water to clean the streets. :-( If you have plants, be sure to water them early in the morning or late in the evening so most of the water doesn't evaporate.)
