  • Our Experiment

    This summer we are planning on trying not to use air conditioners.

    Barry (DH) said that a problem that we seem to have every year is we tend to
    stay inside during the summer because it is nice inside and “too hot” outside.
    Its not good for us to stay cooped up inside, so he suggested that this year we
    not put the air conditioners in. That way I wouldn’t mind being outside a
    lot. (Plus lower electric usage lol)
    What do you think? Are we crazy?

    People used to do it all the time. Actually coming from the background I
    come from (conservative Anabaptist) most of my relatives do not believe in air
    conditioning. My aunt Rachel actually talks all the time about how bad it is for
    you :) She is a midwife.
    I actually lived with out it until I was 16. At that
    age grandpa let me have one in my room but that was the only room in the house
    that had it. And he complained all the time about how bad it was for me and
    things like that.
    Rachel says that as much as they work out side that going
    in and out of the air so much is really bad for you. I don’t know how true that
    is but I don’t know any of my conservative relatives that have air
    conditioning.

    Would you ever go without Air conditioning???? Has air conditioning affected how much you leave your house?
