Or don't use AC altogether. Continuous AC always all-the-time is a very American thing.

- TheBeardKing 9y agoI'd rather give up meat than AC, and I'm a meat lover. But I'm in the deep south, sure I'd give up AC in CO.
- VeejayRampay 9y agoMakes sense for the South in summer months, sure. But in the USA as a whole, AC is used and abused even though there are solutions that involve building materials, behaviour and good habits that could make life livable. Temperatures get crazy high in Europe as well (40C or 105F is not uncommon in summer months in Spain or Italy and they do without AC). Using terra cotta, washing your floors, good use of shade, plants and trees, all that goes towards managing heat. Though the humidity in the southern US states does make it way more complicated, I'll give you that.

- TheSpiceIsLife 9y agoI used to think this until I spent some time in the tropics. I folded u my temperate-climate clothes and put them away. They all went mouldy. Although, I suppose that's just a knowledge / behavioural issue.
