I live in the south of France (in an apartment) and use no heating or air conditioning all year long (as well as no hot water, no fridge/freezer), no need for me, it saves money, and pretty good for the planet
Where do you put all your cheese? :)

Related: eggs are stored and sold at room temperature in Germany. The first time I saw that kind of display, I thought some grocery manager had lost their mind. No, perfectly normal, and safe enough. Watch the refrigerate by dates on the carton.
But I still refrigerate them immediately after getting them home even if I think I’m going to use them quickly, because some habits are impossible to break.
