It can be hard to keep track of expiration dates on food, especially when the type face is very tiny or it wears off easily with constant use at home. One simple way to keep track of the dates and to avoid wasting food is to simply use a permanent marker to write the month, date and year on the package of when it expires. A larger, easy-to-read expiration date means you'll notice the different foods are about to go bad, which can alter your eating habits and help you use up everything and waste nothing.

When washing your hands in a public bathroom, which is a greener way to dry them -- paper towels or an electric hand dryer? The answer is the hand dryer; the machines are long-lasting and use little energy to dry your hands. Plus, the electric hand dryer doesn't give people the option of using a long piece of paper towel to dry off. And with new hand dryers coming to market that are more energy efficient than traditional dryers, the greener choice is becoming more obvious.

The next time you fly and are parched for something refreshing, ask if they can just give you your beverage in a can instead of a cup. Some airlines collect the aluminum cans for recycling, giving you a totally waste-free option to stay hydrated during your flight.
