In my own Quest to Survive, my
#kitchen has been the nerve-centre of designing/creating/building/modifying things to help me stay alive through the crisis of the moment, as well as as more obvious ongong crises such as extreme heat, terrible air quality, etc.
In some cases,
#OffTheShelf technology to mitigate an issue exists, but (for example) both
#poverty and
#lease requirements prevent me from acquiring energy-efficient cooling technology.
Even if I pay 100% of the cost of buying and installing a
#window #AirConditioner, it means a breach of lease and possible
#eviction.
Given that I'm pretty sure I would not survive many days of being
#unhoused (due to
#MedicalConditions and
#disability-management challenges, not due to any fellow unhoused neighbours), I have worked very hard to figure out other ways to mitigate heat in my unit.
