For those environmentally astute individuals wondering if there are other uses for bubble wrap beyond packaging fillers, then wonder no more. The winter season requires those environmentally aware individuals with a need to produce ways of keeping the warmth inside and the cold outside of their homes.
With this winter season being unusually frigid for most of the nation, maintaining a cozy home can be a challenge.
Bubble wrap can be used as an added insulation to windows. The process is as simple as measuring and cutting the bubble wrap to fit the window, misting the inside of the window with water from a spray bottle and attaching the bubble wrap to the window. The wrap should stay on for the entire winter season and also continues to allow light into the room.
Additional ideas for fighting the effects of frigid temperatures include using crumpled newspaper inside tennis shoes to soak up moisture, purchasing inexpensive pipe insulation to function as draft blockers underneath doors inside the home and using shaving cream in place of commercial defogger sprays to defog automobile windows. In addition, there is no need to store bicycles for the winter.
Improving traction on bicycle tires is as simple as applying zip ties at various intervals around the tires. With a little creative ingenuity, minor interventions for winter woes can result in more wealth in the wallet.
