There's a lot of talk about getting the right insulation for your house so that you have to use less energy to heat it, but I think that, especially with global warming in mind, focussing on keeping the heat out in the summer should also be a priority. The past week we had a heat wave over here. It was 'only' 32 degrees but when you live in a swamp area the humidity is enough to completely wreck you. The city I live in is notorious for having 1) bad insulated houses and 2) having almost no green spaces to cool down in outside. Most squares are concrete slabs die to the concrete lobby having connections in the government. It is one of the hottest places in the country because of this, with a four degree difference in some areas. My bedroom has been at 31.5 C at night for the past week. I have a rash on my skin caused by the heat. Most people live in appartments without AC and without a garden to chill in. Green spaces outside and better housing conditions are a must, imo.

Anyway, new week, new left wing struggle. I sometimes feel as if I completely lose the plot of living a life because of politics. I'm at a point where I get envious if I see other people living life and just enjoying the mundane, regular life things. I wonder if taking a step back and touching some grass for a while is a good thing to do right now.
