Whether we’re turning down the AC to cool off, or turning up the heat to get cozy, we use a lot of energy. Households can save as much as 15% a year on heating and cooling bills by simply turning the thermostat back. Set your ceiling fan to rotate counterclockwise and use it to circulate cool air. According to the U.S.

And even though she herself didn’t make all of the displays, it was still really cool to take a first-hand look at what they could use. Another thing I found really cool was that there were so many animals and luminescence. And she said that it was the fact of just looking at all of the collections and items that they had to offer.
