Energy efficiency

There is a dire need for a lesson in energy efficiency in this country! Such incredible amounts of waste are produced here, so much energy is wasted by heating 'the great outdoors', etc etc. It really hurts to see! The design of the heating/colling facilities in our apartment are a great example: the airconditioning (which is made of solid metal and is pretty much in open connection with out doors, where it is -10 degrees at the moment) is installed directly above the heating. This called for some energy saving methods involving bubble wrap! Hopefully we save some energy now and are warmer :)
