Heating Up

Every year Americans all around the world use Air conditioning and heating to help keep themselves comfortable. Whether keeping cold air throughout ones house on a hot summer day. Or heating the house to defend against a cold winter night we use electricity to power these devices. I have wondered why people always use thermostats. I notice that it always feels great to walk inside the house and feel cold air where one used to be burning up. However has anyone considered shedding layers? I think we should regulate our comfortability by changing clothing not by using a thermostat which requires constant power to keep the air cool or warm. I think that when it is freezing cold put on a sweatshirt or a fleece inside. You can save power and be just as toasty as if you were heating your room. When it is burning hot outside wear a t-shirt, shorts, and flip flops or something similar to help beat the heat. Everytime I go to sleep in the summer I wear at most basketball shorts and a T-shirt. We could all do our part to reduce electricity costs by giving up the ability to regulate heat and still stay comfortable for the cost of a couple of minutes for changing. It is easy and it saves electricity
