 STOP THE HOT FLASH /SAVE THE PLANET
REDUCE THE CO2 FOOT PRINT
50,000,000 women in USA have hot flashes { HF} ; 5,000,000 have severe hot flashes - 250,000,000 women world wide have hot flashes .The impact on the planet by trying to control or reduce HF is significant .The effect can take many forms. We will focus on the 2 most obvious :Cooling the enviorment to prevent hot flashes { keep in mind that HF prone women will have a HF if wrapped in a warm towel}, or keeping the window open during the winter to keep the house normal temperature but the bed room cooler to avoid HF.
Few other facts:
For each degree the thermostat is set above 72 degrees, energy use is reduced by 1 - 3 percent per degree
25% of each energy dollar goes to heat water this is used to wash the cloth and take showers , both activities increased with women with HF
Here is a sample calculation :
Lets assume 10% increase in energy cost due to HF
Lets assume a $ 200 / month electricity cost so, $ 20 per month reduction of use if hot flashes are controlled $20/ month X5 000,000 severe HF = $100,000,000 per month saving 1.2 billion per year. Please calculate your CO2 foot print via the web site below.

Lets continue to assume $200 /month electricity cost is converted to 3.92 tonnes of CO2 for 1 year, 10% reduction leads to 3.54 tonnes. Thus for 5,000,000 women leads to a reduction of
CO2 foot print of 2,000,000 tonnes per year in USA alone.
