Over the next ten weeks, I will only turn on heat at night from 10pm til 8am to reduce the cost of electricity use for my apartment. This lifestyle is eco-chic because it will save energy and heating costs. I chose this life-style because it makes more sense for me to only turn on the heat when I am hanging around in my apartment. I figure that I am usually at work or school during the hours of 8am and 10pm. There is absolutely no need for me to have the heat on when I am not at home. So today, when I get home, I will only turn the heat on at 10pm.
Hey Sarra, this is a cool idea. Do you think there is a way to tweak it so you use even less, like trying not to use it at all?! I know it seems extreme but when you think that the heat will stay on until it gets your apartment back up to the temp you have it set at anyway you are still using a decent amount of energy. In my house we rely on sweats and blankets rather than turn the heat on!
ReplyDeleteI really like that idea Sarra! It will save a ton of electricity! Also, like Caleb we rely on blankets and sweats to save on money and electricity as well!
ReplyDeleteIt is a really good idea to save on using heat! I wish it didn't get so cold in Duluth so I wouldn't have to use heat at all. Our house is big and old so it takes a lot to heat up. Your idea is making me think about ways we could reduce the use of heat in our house!
ReplyDeleteSarra this is a really good idea, I don't know if I could do it. I'm a huge baby when it come to heat and I freeze even in like 60 degree weather. But I'm glad you are doing this goal, sounds like a good one. Can't wait to read about it goes.
