Even if you're not in the market for a new pet, you can help promote pet rescue by visiting your local shelter's website. Just "like" available pets on Facebook, follow and retweet the shelter on Twitter and pin pictures to your Pinterest page to generate viral marketing support. Using social media can help spread the word about a great pet up for adoption and help him find a forever home.

RadioShack is a great place to take old electronics for recycling, including cellphones, MP3 players, digital cameras, camcorders, gaming devices and much more. The store will evaluate the item's worth and give you a credit. Why not gather a box full of old electronics from your neighbors and pool the funds to buy a local charity a much-needed item, like a new camera or camcorder? You’ll free some space and help a good cause.

Have a spare painter's tarp in storage? Upcycle it into an outdoor movie screen. Stretch the tarp between two trees and place a small table in front. Use a projector connected to a DVD player or a special device that turns your smartphone into a film projector to watch your favorite movie outside. When done, just tear down the tarp and keep it handy for the next backyard movie night.
