Riparian buffers, or the vegetated areas alongside waterways, naturally protect streams by shading and cooling them, slowing and infiltrating stormwater runoff before entering the waterway, removing pollutants, creating habitat, and preventing sediment erosion from streambanks.

If cooling your house gets cheaper because you’re more energy efficiency, you might decide you can afford to keep your house even cooler. Energy efficiency means using less energy to produce the same goods or services (such as driving your car or heating your house). That can mean a decrease in your total energy use, but not necessarily.

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.
