What Can I Wear So I Don’t Freeze in Air-Conditioned Places?
The New York Times
A bit of advice for everyone stepping out this summer.
This is one of those problems that feels lucky to have. After all, for the last 16 months we’ve been largely barred from going inside anything — restaurants, offices, stores, theaters — at least while accompanied by other people. Freezing indoors when it is hot outside was a luxury that signified a return of genuine social life, and until recently it was unclear when that would ever happen. But it has — at least in some countries. And we should be thankful for it. As well as for the ability to complain about ridiculous air-conditioning. One of the conversations that has been going on in the same 16 months is whether we will have learned anything from our experience with the pandemic — and if so, what it will be. Some of those presumed lessons center on sustainability and climate change, but it seems that this one didn’t quite take.
