If you're spending time at the beach, make sure you do a few simple things to keep your environmental footprint as light as possible. First, choose an all-organic, plant-based sunscreen to wear; when you frolic in the water, most sunscreens (even waterproof ones) will leave some residual waste in our oceans. A biodegradable one won't disturb the delicate ecosystems of the ocean. Finally, at the end of the day, make sure you tap all the excess sand out of your shoes and bags; with millions of people visiting our beaches annually, a little sand here and there really does add up to serious beach erosion.

When you park your car, look for a shady spot. Heat from the sun makes gas fumes vent into the air, even if you're not driving. Parking in the shade lowers the temperature in your tank by as much as 7 degrees, saving you gas and money!

If you have pets or wear your shoes in the house, you may need to deodorize your carpets. Sprinkle baking soda on the carpet and leave it overnight. The baking soda will absorb odors as you slumber away. The next day, plug in the vacuum and suck it all up. How easy was that?
