Jimmy Olsen
Wool, Flannel and Other Energy-saving Resources
When winter blows into town, we instinctively know we need to bundle up before we head outside. We put on our coats, gloves, throw on a scarf and don our various hats, caps, berets and woolen chapeaus. But when we get back home, most of us peel off the layers, crank up the thermostat and live like it is spring indoors. The problem with relying solely on our electric heaters, fireplaces and radiators to keep us warm is obvious. Our energy bill starts to climb, while our planet’s resources continue to diminish.
So here are some low-tech ideas on how to stay toasty this winter while lowering your energy bill:
Wear a sweater. You are familiar with the concept right? Just as there are outdoor winter wraps, there are indoor winter clothes. Our pioneer ancestors were well acquainted with these handy devices. Sweaters come in a variety of styles and patterns. For those of us who don’t like getting our hair mussed, there is the stylish cardigan. They are easy to put on, take off and oh-so warm. For the more adventurous (or bald) of us, there are various pullover models. The v-neck, the turtleneck and the basic round neck. Always, go with wool. It is a little scratchy, but ever so warm.
Wear a sweater vest. Okay, I know. Vests make you look like a female golfer, Jimmy Olsen or somebody’s grandfather. Get over it. Sweater vests keep your core warm and comfortable. They layer nicely with shirts, blouses and jackets. And they come in a variety of styles: cardigans, pullover v-necks and rugged fleeces. Wear a hat. A hat indoors, you ask? Absolutely. Most of our body heat is lost through the top of our heads. So put a lid on it. Hats––indoors and out––make a statement. A jaunty beret says you are an intellectual and a closet poet. A ball cap says you are salt-of-the –earth, plain, old just folks. A Stetson says you are a rugged individualist. A knit toboggan says you are from Seattle.
Wear shoes or slippers. Don’t go around the house in your stocking feet. It is hard on your socks and worse on the environment. If your house is warm enough to go barefoot in the winter, it is too warm. Buy a pair of warm slippers. Slide out of your muddy shoes and into a pair of these. Now you are maxing and relaxing. Invest in flannel. Okay, so you like to slip into something sexy and crawl under the electric blanket at night. Bad plan. This just feeds the monster. Buy a pair of flannel jammies and put and extra blankets on the bed, then turn the thermostat lower than your keep it during the day. This will save you plenty.
After a month of lowering the thermostat and dressing more warmly around the house, compare your new electric bill with an old one. See the savings? All thanks to a little wool and flannel.
