While donating or reselling a piece of furniture is one of the greenest ways to keep it out of a landfill, there's one item that should be shared carefully: a crib. The Consumer Product Safety Commission recently announced that reselling or donating cribs made before July 23, 2010, is illegal because many of these cribs feature designs that have been recalled due to safety issues. Only the most up-to-date models that meet safety requirements should ever be given as a hand-me-down to an expectant mother. Go to www.cpsc.gov for more information.

Take a moment to unplug rechargeable products around the house that keep draining electricity around the clock. Look for energy hogs like power tools, electric razors and toothbrushes. These items continue to not only draw unneeded power, but also wear down their batteries, making them less efficient over time.

A small collection of hotel soap bars is something many of us are guilty of amassing at home. One indulgent way to use them is to make them into flakes using a vegetable grater and sprinkling them into a bath; the flakes will foam up and create a luxurious bubble bath. It's like being on vacation all over again.
