Thou Shalt Not Use Air-Con

It's a guilty pleasure. a horrific abuse of energy. but my got, it's 35 celcius outside, and 32 in the non air-con rooms, but such a gentle 24 right here in the entertainment room, and despite my shame about the energy use, I'd beat the hordes off with a stick to keep the beast running. It's part of this quick-fix society we live in. what else could have we done to reach the same cool point?

• Double Glazing
• Window Shading
• Insulation (in this room that isn't insulated)
• Solar Panels

But that's like four guys you have to call out, whereas air-con gets one guy out, and it's cold four hours later. while all that effort is worth it for the house costs and the environment, it's all me me me, now now now. Still, gotsta make the effort so the grandkids know what a tree looks like without looking it up in a book.
