When repainting a room inside your home, don't opt for paints that claim to be "low VOC" (short for volatile organic compounds) when many zero-VOC paints now exist in the marketplace. If you can buy odorless paint at the home improvement store without any additional markup in price, why not do it? While low-VOC paints may contain (BEGIN ITALS)some(END ITALS) odor, you don't know how little or how much. So go zero-VOC whenever you can.

One simple way to cut back on paper usage is to pay and review your bills online. Take a look at all the paper bills that are mailed to you and check to see if you can switch them to an online system. This is very easy to do and will help you save time and remove the hassle of buying postage stamps to send them back.

Overnight shipping may get your package there in a jiffy, but it also uses a tremendous amount of fuel (not to mention money) to make it happen. If it doesn't absolutely, positively have to be there overnight, opt for ground shipping, which uses more fuel-efficient trucks to move packages. One insider tip? If you ground ship between major cities that are close to each other, the chances are it will still arrive the next day at the much cheaper ground-shipping price. Ground packages between Philadelphia and New York City, for instance, almost always arrive the next day this way.
