The first thing I always see people say is plant a garden/trees or recycle, but I don’t have land, and I live in a red state that seems to hate recycling. The closest place to take plastic last I checked was over an hour away by car.

I know anything I do would have a negligible effect, but I’m sick of not doing anything.

Also is there anything I can do about the heat without running the AC? I try to leave the windows open, but they’re all on one side and don’t seem to allow for much airflow that way.

    So before I go to my smart-ass landlord about this, are these films easily removable if necessary?

    Edit: Also, when you say full mirrored, do you mean the kind that goes transparent at night or are there kinds that stay that way all the time?

      Yes, I’m not aware of any designed to be permanent, since most films eventually have to be replaced. The easiest to remove use static cling without adhesive. Those can just be ripped off in one piece, if you needed to demonstrate.

      The way the transparency thing works is similar to a two way mirror; they’ll always let light through, but at night the light from the outside isn’t bright enough to overpower the light from inside, which is what makes the outer layer a mirror

      There are some which reflect about 95% of the light and practically 100% IR that are made of mylar foil like an emergency thermal blanket, think that’s what theyre talking about
