When I was a kid, I used to make fun of my younger sister whom would wear multiple layers of clothes inside our home topped with an oh so sexy ski jacket. Now, the older I get and the more work I do from home, the more I find myself wearing layers inside. Maybe she was onto something? I feel wearing layers provides not only comfort (ever try to nap without a blanket?!?) but also a greener way of heating. Heating a home for one person is a horrible game plan; heating your home while the whole family is present should be the goal.
I enjoyed reading this article from Treehugger.com about how to heat your home and home office. Since I work out of my home office during the day, I find myself cold and warm both in the same day and really agreed with what the blogger said in his article. My favorite thing from the article was the blogger’s point to “Wear Your Bloody Gloves!” aka put on some more clothes!
