use lamps sparingly. CFS/Halogen give off less heat.

We put mylar on the windows this year available at Carol Wright.com and others. It dropped the temperature in our apartment 5 degrees.

Work in the morning and after dark if possible. Wash dishes and laundry after 10pm. Cook early or late and reheat or eat cold foods.

Park in the shade if you can. Keep car windows down 1/2 inch to vent heat. I had one of those solar powered window vents that helped but every time someone would ride with me they would forget, open the window and it would end up smashed on the pavement.

Even if you have AC. A small fan can make a difference in your personal space.
