Running errands today? Try doing them back-to-back to save gas. When you start up a car that has a warm engine, it pollutes five times less than one that hasn't been driven recently. And if you stop at a strip mall where you need to make two stops, try parking between both stores and walking to each one instead of driving to both stores.

Ever wonder what to do with an old kitchen sponge? Here's an energy-saving idea: Use it to make your window air conditioning unit more energy efficient. Cut the dry sponge into strips, and use it to plug the gaps between your air conditioner and window. This will keep hot air outdoors and cool air indoors.

Did you know all of the spam email filling your inbox isn't just a pain to go through and delete, but it's also costing you a lot of money? The extra hours spent poring through unwanted emails and deleting them wastes electricity that can average up to $110 a year. To save time and energy, activate the spam filter on your email account. Or, have two email accounts -- one strictly for email and another you use for newsletters, updates and whenever you make a purchase online.
