- Pull your shades down on windows that receive a lot of sun, this will lower your cooling needs and energy bill.
- Dress for the weather instead of turning up the air conditioning, lighter colors and fabrics cool you naturally. When it starts to get warm, send a note to parents asking them to help kids get dressed appropriately for the weather.
- Stay cool on a summer day by making paper fans instead of turning up your air conditioner. Ask your art teacher to help students get creative with their own, reusable paper fan.
- In the lunchroom or lounge, use your microwave for cooking instead of the oven or stove. Arrange “heat-free lunch days” to encourage students and teachers to bring sandwiches, salads or other foods that do not require reheating.
