Wear a sweater
Wear layers- a T-shirt, outer shirt, sweater, and a hat- (a large percentage of your body heat escapes through your head). Bundling up works as effectively as insulation in your home’s walls- and it’s free. It’s surprising how many times this simple solution isn’t followed. You can set your thermostat to 65 (or lower!) if you follow this easy, energy-saving plan. If you turn the heat down just two degrees, you’ll save about 4% on your energy bill, and reduce your carbon emissions by 6%.
Invite your friends over
What better excuse to throw a dinner party than the need to huddle together for warmth? The more people in an apartment, the higher the collective body heat. Perhaps you could try initiating a weekly “No Heat Potluck” with all your closest, eco-conscious pals? (Hey, this sounds like "Soup Sunday")
