Keep It Cool with Shades

Save 500 lbs of carbon

Fact: Window shades can reduce solar heat gain inside your home by 50%.  

Act: In winter, open up curtains facing south when it's sunny, and close them at night.  In summer, keep your curtains closed during the day and open at sundown.

For even bigger savings consider installing energy-efficient shades, which work harder to keep the outside elements out.
