Tip # 86 Turn off the Air Conditioner?

I put a question mark next to this one because if you live in the South, like I do, this is not something you want to even consider during the summer! I think it would be good to set a temperature goal...say any day it's 75 degrees or below, we'll switch to fans and open the windows to get some fresh air. Definitely easier to do if you don't own 2 chinchillas who overheat if it gets above 73!
