 Hi everybody! My name is Chance. That's my last name. So today we are coming to interview people like how they feel about this worm and then how they gave like some good word like outside. Gail! I have some of my friends. There is, I don't even know his name but I will ask. Hey! Avery! Yeah we're going to go to a cooling center and around that area and just ask people what they do to cool off and their thoughts just on the current heat because we're all dying currently. What was your name? Avery. Hi folks! I'm Andrew. Yeah we're going to be going to cooling centers asking some questions about the heat and yeah. So good to thank you for allowing us to talk to you real quick. You're welcome. So my first question for you Tim is it right? Yep. What is your main technique for staying cool during these last couple of days? My main technique is to drink lots of water. You know just drink lots of water. That's the main thing so that you don't get dehydrated and then the other thing is just be cool. You know if you don't have to don't do too much don't work. If you don't have to work outside don't. If you do work outside do it early and if you have to work if you're outside during the heat of the day um big hat sunscreen drink lots of water yeah and take it easy don't you know. It's good advice good advice. Do you know about the cooling centers of the city that they set up? I don't I don't know anything about that. If you knew about the cooling centers do you think you would go? I don't think for me it wouldn't be necessary I'm lucky enough to have some air conditioning in my house so I just go home and sit in the room with the air conditioning shut the door you know and yeah yeah so I you know I I don't need that I understand that there are many many many other people who don't have that privilege like I do so these things it's a wonderful thing it's a good thing. Well thank you for talking with us today okay guys have a good one and you do the same thanks. Hi Prince good to meet you and good to speak with you today. Um I got some couple questions for you. What is your main technique for staying cool these last couple of days? Uh my main technique is probably staying home like find a place to have like AC or like fans and stuff because lately you've been getting hot like this weather nowadays if you go like under the sun it's like not good for you. Yeah I um I would akin it to being like taking damage like one percent just standing under the sun. Another question do you know about the city's cooling centers? I've not heard about it. Um have you considered doing something like that I mean I know you said you go to different places just look for AC but like uh if you knew about a cooling center would you go? Yeah I would go yeah only what only like outside is like really hot and then I can just go to that place you just chill there yeah yeah okay okay um thank you for speaking with us yeah your name's Prince right cool like the singer yeah so hi Zach my name is Andrew um this is Avery and we're gonna ask you some questions about the heat for the last couple of days um do you my mic do you um what is your like your main technique for staying cool for like the last couple of days? Staying hydrated it's a big one it's hard to stay in air conditioned spaces with with my work in the parks department so it's important to stay hydrated for me um in the shade if I can um certainly swimming but we're obviously struggling with Lake Champlain right now um and I'm not a ton of time without either but I love love staying hydrated I love staying cool anyway I can I love the heat when there's water so every once in a while I'll take a cold shower even I guess all good things cool um do you know about the city's like mandated cooling centers? Um I have heard a little bit about them yeah I believe there might even be one in this building but I'm not sure I wouldn't what are the nature of these cooling centers? Oh I believe they just provide a public space for people to stay on when there is severe heat you know to the point where it impacts public safety um do you see yourself like traveling to another cooling center today or no no I was pleased to see how well the AC is working in here today when I got back I was out in the field a lot of the day and um yeah my apartment's not as cool as here but it's certainly cooler than some places and um you know I feel very grateful to have a place that's comfortable enough you know personally so I'll say that's those spots for people who might need them yeah cool well thank you for your time yeah thank you guys so I just forgot your name I'm Juliana Juliana Juliana um thank you for speaking with us um this is an interview with CCTV um I'm going to ask you some questions about the heat and like how do you like cope with the heat pretty much okay is what is your main technique for coping with the heat um I think I try to maybe go swimming in the lake well obviously it's you can't swim in the lake right now but we're in a pool or drinking lots of water um maybe taking cold showers some things like that yeah all good things okay um that's cool do you know about the cooling centers I have not heard of the cooling centers before okay and if you knew about the cooling centers would you go I'm not sure um I've been working here this week and so we've just been staying inside a lot and um I'd probably probably go to my house where we have some air conditioning and stuff like that okay well thank you for your time thank you so Nadia um thank you for allowing us to interview um do you know do you know if the city of Vermont I'm sorry no that's good oh oh right so question do you know if the city has like done cooling centers before I don't not to my knowledge I have no idea um what how do you stay cool during this heat honestly just drinking a lot of water and making sure like you're not spending too much time outside and like working out outside like spending less time outside if you're working out outside okay um any advice for people that like are traveling during this time um honestly once again drinking a lot of water but um staying hydrated yeah trying to stay inside even if you're like an outdoorsy person trying to stay inside um and also for people with pets to like make sure that their pets have water right gotta support the pet parents um yeah that's cool well thank you for speaking with us all right coming back to y'all we've uh visited some cooling centers we've talked to some folks um what did y'all think that thing I'm thinking about like when you go in the sun is too hot but when you're coming under the shadow of that tree you can't feel like good and excited of yourself and your body that way you feel so that's the only things I think what do you think about um I found the cooling centers really interesting before today I didn't even know that um those were a thing that existed um and I think that's a really cool ha ha pun um a really cool like option for people that don't have ac and it's like a way to cool themself off and yeah yeah my final thoughts are stay cool and cooling centers should be more of a thing everywhere
