Edit: Context behind this question is because my parents always tell me to shut the windows all the way and I kinda feel like I’m suffocating… literally… (it’s Winter here)

Like I just struggle to breathe with windows closed…

So I’m just curious, how do y’all not suffocate while trying to keep house warm and spend less on heating?

    I try to open my bedroom window as little as possible because the air outside is usually poor quality and I have an active air filter monitoring my room and removing crud from it. I LOVE living in a car centric city in a country who’s government has been partly captured by oil companies and dealerships at all levels.

    I like to think the plants I have in my room help with the CO₂, but I don’t feel they make that much of a difference.
