As the winter weather turns to warm spring weather, that means storing our thick, woolen sweaters until next winter. Here's a simple way to protect your sweaters and to reuse something you might have extra of around the house: Store your sweaters inside old pillowcases. The cases will allow the sweaters to breathe while protecting them from the elements and dust. And a bonus tip: Pillowcases can also protect hanging garments. Simply cut a hole in the middle of the closed side and drape it over the hanger.

A recent study figured out how many times you needed to reuse a reusable cup before it actually begins to save energy and resources in comparison to using a throwaway paper cup. When comparing a typical paper coffee cup, it found a reusable ceramic mug would need to be used 39 times before you begin to see environmental savings, a plastic thermos would need to be used 17 times and a heat-resistant glass mug just 15 times. What's taken into consideration is the amount of materials and resources needed to make a reusable cup, plus the amount of water and energy to wash it. So the lesson is simple: Buy one reusable cup and use it over and over.
