During heat waves, air conditioning systems are designed to cool your home approximately 20 degrees cooler than the outside air. For example, even if your thermostat is set for 70 degrees, on a 95 degree day, your home may not drop below 75 degrees.

To keep your home as cool as possible:

• Keep up with yearly Air Conditioning Maintenance. This will help your unit function effectively and efficiently.
• Make sure your air conditioning filters are clean. Replacing a clogged air filter with a new one can lower the air conditioner’s energy consumption by 5 to 15 percent, according to the US Department of Energy.
• If your Air Conditioning is on, make sure to close windows and doors. Also, remember to close shades and blinds where direct sunlight shines through your windows.
• Supplement with fans. Stagnant air feels warmer than the temperature indicates. Just by circulating air with a fan can make you feel like your home is cooler.
• Turn off lights when you leave a room. By leaving unneeded lights on, you are contributing to the warmth in your home.

World Toilet Day is a day to raise awareness and inspire action to tackle the global sanitation crisis – a topic often neglected in society. Today, 4.5 billion people are struggling to live well, keep their children alive and work towards a better future – all because they don’t have access to proper sanitation. It’s hard to believe, but globally more people have access to cell phones than toilets!

Only 39% of the global population use a safely managed sanitation service, and 1.8 billion people use an unimproved source of drinking water with no protection against contamination. Combined with safe water and good hygiene, improved sanitation could prevent around 842,000 deaths each year.

The Sustainable Development Goals, launched in 2015, include a target to ensure everyone has access to a safely-managed household toilet by 2030. This makes sanitation central to eradicating extreme poverty.  For more information or ideas on how you can help, please visit:
