Bubble Wrap Window Insulation
This is a simple technique for insulating windows with bubble wrap packing material. Bubble wrap is often used to insulate greenhouse windows in the winter, but it also seems to work fine for windows in the house. You can use it with or without regular or insulating window shades. It also works for windows of irregular shape, which can be difficult to find insulating shades for.
On this day, 11 December 1981, a death squad backed by the US administration of Ronald Reagan massacred around 1,000 people in El Mozote, El Salvador (content note: sexual violence). Prior to being killed, many of the victims - half of them children - were tortured and girls as young as 10 were raped by the US-trained soldiers. They were fighting against a left-wing insurgency, but the villagers of El Mozote had remained largely neutral.
