The next time you have sheets of used aluminum foil you're about to toss, save them to keep your fireplace clean. Line the bottom of your fireplace with a few layers. When the logs burn and create ashes, the debris will rest on top of the foil. When the ashes are cool, you can simply lift up the foil and scatter the ashes in your yard.

After brewing a few pots of hot tea, ever wonder what else you can do with a used tea bag? Simply place it in a small bowl along with a few fresh lemon slices -- perhaps also leftover from your afternoon tea -- and leave the bowl in the back of the fridge. The natural deodorizing properties of the lemon and tea bags will freshen up your fridge in about 24 hours.

If you want to help preserve the rain forest, one simple action you can do is avoid buying baked goods and cosmetics made with palm oil. Palm oil is a cheap oil that originates from rain forest land that companies purchase cheaply, clear-cut and replant with palm trees. This invasive farming technique has decimated rare and indigenous plant and animal species and has turned rich rain forest land into unstable farmland. So read labels carefully and avoid anything with palm oil.
