2nd District, Budapest, Hungary • Lőrincné (Kati) Unger, 75, retired since 2005.
Living on a tight budget, Kati looks for ways to stay cool without using electricity.
Rather than turn on a fan — which she says is worth nothing when it is 35ºC to 40ºC outside — she props open windows to keep a cross-breeze flowing.
In the afternoons, she waters the small garden behind her building to help cool the temperature for everyone.
