During our podcast on this topic we mentioned quite a few ideas and resources that may come in handy if you are looking to make your home more sustainable. Here are a few:
Building:
- weather strip windows
- heavy curtains longer than the door to avoid drafts – could be a heavy wool blanket
- cold climate: create some kind of weather protected entrance
- replace windows with better insulation
- In hot climate: paint roof white
- Natural insulation: Wool, old denim, cork, recycled plastic (better not to use plastic)
- living roof if structure allows the weight
