Get rid of the antiquated fax machine! Instead, choose a paperless online "fax" service like eFax (www.efax.com) to receive faxes. Not only will it save trees and cut down on paper waste, but you'll be able to file and manage faxes electronically. No more digging around for that important memo!

Many of us belong to different airlines' frequent flyer mileage programs. If you don't have enough miles to trade in for a free ticket, why not donate them to a nonprofit organization instead? Most airlines have a "donate" option on their Web sites, allowing you to give instantly. Some airlines let you choose a charity, while others have designated specific programs that will benefit. In either case, put those unneeded miles to good use.
