The Environmental Protection Agency says there are simple ways to save money when keeping your home cool during hot summer months. One easy way is to just increase your thermostat by 2 degrees and turn on ceiling fans. You can lower your cooling costs by 14 percent with this one step. When you leave the room, make sure to turn the fans off, so the fans cool you, not the room.

Yes, the clothes dropped in those bins are collected and recycled, but they are often designated for questionable for-profit companies that make money selling used clothes for textile recycling. It's best to donate to reputable charities -- like Goodwill and The Salvation Army -- where you know your donation will go to good use.

This is an excellent time to visit them and stock up on everyday essentials you may need, like eco-friendly detergents or organic pasta sauces.
