Most hotels have made it easy to go green today by giving you the option to not have your bedding and towels changed every day. The choice of reusing your linens more than once is not only good for the environment, it can actually be rewarding to you. When staying at Starwood properties, like Westin Hotels, guests who choose to decline housekeeping when staying there will be rewarded 500 Starwood preferred points or a $5 voucher, applicable toward food or beverages. So skip a night of housekeeping, help the planet and get rewarded. What's not to like?

When hot air seeps out of the house when you're trying to heat it, you're wasting energy and losing money at the same time. What many people don't realize is that your fireplace can actually be to blame. A leaky chimney can suck up to 8 percent of the warm air out of your home. If you can't replace the damper inside the fireplace, do this next best thing: Cut a piece of thick cardboard to fit snugly inside. It will block drafts and cost you nothing to do. Just remember to remove the cardboard when you do plan to use the fireplace.

With spring weather around the corner, it's a good time to get your snowblower prepped and ready for storage so it works as good as new next winter. What's the most important thing to do, according to RepairClinic.com? Replace the spark plug, even if your machine is working fine. The spark plug is designed to last for one season, and given the enormity of this season's snowstorms, it's a good idea to replace it. A degraded spark plug actually increases greenhouse gas emissions, reduces the engine performance and increases fuel consumption. That one tiny fix can save you money and help the environment.
