Keeping houseplants happy and thriving in your home is a great way to improve the air quality of your home. One simple way to water them is to use secondary water sources. It's simple: About to pour half-empty glasses of water down the drain after dinner? Give them to your plants instead. About to enjoy a hot bath, but waiting for the water to heat up? Fill a watering can in the tub and give it to your plants. Ice cubes and cooled water from the teapot are other easy sources of hydration for your plants.

Who knew? Baby oil is a gentle and effective bathroom cleaner. Dab some oil onto a cloth and use it to polish chrome fixtures like faucets and showerheads. Use the same cloth to remove soap scum and watermarks on glass shower doors -- it will leave the doors sparkling clean, and the light film of oil will prevent them for getting dirty.

Here's the easiest Do Just One Thing that comes to mind: Use revolving doors when visiting stores and office buildings. When you have the choice, go with rotating doors because they help keep heat and air conditioning in the building. Using a regular door can create a vacuum effect, forcing outside air into the store, causing the system to work harder and less efficiently. Choosing a rotating door is an easy and green thing you can do every day.
