Use eco-friendly orange rind oil (from the hardware store), and mix it with a handful of plastic foam bits. Stir and watch the solvent dissolve the plastic foam into a sticky liquid. The glue can be used for craft projects or for household repairs.

While childhood memories of feeding bread to ducks and geese may seem wonderful, it’s a practice that needs to be stopped. Bread has few needed nutrients for waterfowl. It causes birds' organs to become fatty, which leads to heart disease, liver problems and other health complications. Many animals never learn how to forage for food because they have become accustomed to being fed by humans, leading to death for less-aggressive birds.

Pillows filled with down feathers can clump up over time. Here's a simple way to revive your bed pillows while refreshing them, too: Place your pillow in the dryer, and tumble dry it on high for several minutes. The high heat will kill dust mites and odors that may be lingering inside, and the tumbling action will redistribute the feathers. After a few minutes, your clumpy pillow will feel, smell and look as good as new.
