Did you know that perfumes can have up to 4,000 chemical substances in them, many of them nonrenewable petroleum sources? If you're like a lot of people who complain about headaches and nausea from fragrances, it might be time to visit a bar. No, not for a cocktail, but to blend your own essential oil scent. Aveda stores offer a Pure-Fume custom blending bar where you can mix and match essential oils to create an all-natural scent.

If your office at work is a bit chilly, don't grab the space heater to warm up the whole room. Instead, use a heating pad by placing it on the floor and resting your feet on it. It'll act as a portable radiant floor, warming up your feet and keeping your whole body cozier. This way, you're using significantly less energy and making less noise.

Pay attention when you're sorting your recyclables. Many people believe all plastic is the same. But in fact, there are several grades of plastic that are coded by numbers 1 through 7. The most commonly recycled plastics are No. 1 and No. 2 types: milk jugs, detergent bottles, etc. It's imperative that you only put out what your local community accepts for recycling. By mixing non-recyclable and recyclable plastics together, you risk contaminating the whole load, which means a whole batch of recyclables might have to be dropped off at a landfill instead.
