On your next road trip, don't let your empty seats go unused. Instead, get paid. The website zimride.com connects people who are going from point A to point B with others who need to get there. Use the site to find passengers who have created profiles to get to know them better. So, for example, if you're driving from New York City to Washington, D.C., you can find other people to fill the seats and get paid to drive to your destination. Carpooling for the 21st century!

The average home uses about $1,900 a year in energy, and the kitchen is an obvious place to look to when trying to cut back. One of the easiest ways to lower energy costs is to use your microwave oven instead of the stovetop. Skip boiling water in a kettle and, instead, heat water in a mug in the microwave. You can still have hot tea and use two-thirds less energy in the process.

It can be nearly impossible to remove an ink stain from clothing when a ballpoint pen explodes. Here's a resourceful way to treat the stain and make your clothes look as good as new: Cover the stain in hand sanitizer. Clear, gel-based hand sanitizers are loaded with alcohol, which help lift the stain from the fibers of clothes. Saturating the stain makes it easy for the stain to be removed when washed. Just allow the hand sanitizer to saturate for at least 10 minutes before washing.
