The latest product for the eco bathroom? Quick-drying towels. These 100-percent cotton towels feature a special twist weave that helps the towels dry faster. That means less time in the dryer (which means energy savings) and less time air-drying (which means less mildew on the towels). You can find these quick-drying towels at all major retailers.

Old holiday candles you no longer want or burn can be recycled into new ones. Simple melt the candles in a large Pyrex measuring cup over a double boiler. When melted, pour the hot wax into watertight containers -- chipped wineglasses work well -- and insert a pre-tabbed wick (available from the craft store). Let cool completely and voila! You've got new candles.

Use old egg cartons to keep delicate holiday ornaments protected and safely stashed away. Place one ornament in each compartment and close it up. Put the cartons into airtight storage boxes (along with your holiday lights) and nestle them away for next year's festivities.
