Pick up a bottle of essential oils, available in health food stores and some beauty supply shops, and place a few drops of the oil into the sink when washing dishes. As the warm sudsy water hits the oils, it'll diffuse into the air. Choose scents you love. Lavender is a good option to help soothe the soul. Who would've thought washing dishes could be spa-like, too?

Be sure to rinse out cans and bottles when recycling. While some residual food is not bad for the recycling process, it can be tempting to wildlife. Wild animals can harm themselves trying to get to food at the bottom of a can; the sharp edges can cut them. Rinse out your cans and bottles and only put them out for collection on recycling pickup days.

If you're washing your hands in a public bathroom, one crank of the paper towel roller is enough. Don't crank the roller five or six times to get a one giant sheet of paper. A small piece will do just fine, even if it still leaves your hands a bit damp, because your hands will dry in a few seconds flat. But don't be tempted to avoid hand-washing altogether -- a healthier environment is better than no regard to the environment at all.
