When lighting candles or starting a fire in the fireplace, it's easy to stock up on the plastic wand fire starters that are pre-filled with lighter fluid and create a flame with the flick of a switch. The problem with these convenient starters is that most of them are not refillable and are thrown away -- plastic components and all. Stick with regular matches or stock up on free matches whenever you eat out instead.

An old green tip to place a brick into the tank of your toilet to help displace water and cut back on water usage each time you flush should be recalled. Over time, the brick can break down and clog up parts in the toilet, making it inefficient -- if not unusable. The best idea is to invest in a dual-flush toilet when you do need a new one; these toilets give you two options: a full flush when you need it and a half flush for everything else.

Small plastic water or soda bottles can be used as cold packs the next time you shop at the grocery store. Simply fill up the bottles with water and freeze them overnight with the cap screwed on. Place them inside a durable reusable bag or cooler and place your perishable groceries near them to keep them cool and fresh.
