It's that time of year again. That long, mostly holiday-bare stretch of the year in the northern hemisphere full of record-breaking temperatures, raging wildfires, and heat-related illnesses that we call summer. Not every home has air-conditioning. Adding it isn't always financially or contractually possible. Others, to reduce environmental footprint, go without AC because the energy-sucking machines raise city temperatures by pumping heat outdoors. Even for those with AC, the power could go out during an ill-timed heat wave. Thanks to global climate change and the heat-island effect of urban cities trapping heat within pavement and buildings, life on Earth is growing warmer by the year. This is the only planet we've got though, and unlike billionaires, we can't just fly off to a new planet once we've toasted this one into oblivion. Here's how to stay cool even when the Earth is feelin' hot, hot, hot. |
