Rescue an empty Altoid candy tin and recycle it into a portable first aid kit. Fill it with Band-Aids, a travel size packet of Aspirin, antibacterial towelettes, cold sore cream or anything else that'll fit in the box. Make a few and stash them in the car, your luggage and at the office.

Try to stop junk mail from being sent to you in the first place. Whenever you order something online, be sure to read the page prompts carefully before hitting "Submit Order." Most online stores will ask you to check a box if you do not want to be solicited with e-mails and mailers for special promotions. Since many of us are so computer savvy now, we often skip through the prompts quickly and neglect to check the box, therefore agreeing to junk mail. Check it in order to stop it.

On a warm, sunny day, hang your laundry outside on a clothesline to dry, instead of using the energy-hogging dryer. Your dryer is the second biggest use of energy in your home, so line-drying can be a huge energy- and money-saving idea. To capture the true scent of summer, mow the lawn right before you hang laundry; the sheets take on the smell of freshly cut grass. P.S. -- Make sure you are allowed to hang clothes outside to dry; some neighborhoods don't allow it.
