Camping is on the rise and gaining popularity with families and people who want to enjoy the great outdoors. But think renting instead of buying when you need camping equipment. Instead of buying brand-new, many outdoor sporting goods stores will rent all of the necessary equipment you need -- from tents to coolers to backpacks -- at a fraction of the cost of buying. The other option is to use your social media network to ask friends, family and neighbors. And don't forget: Leave nothing behind when you camp to keep the wilderness pristine and beautiful.

If you are decorating a new office -- whether at home or in a workplace -- don't think new when you can save the environment and money by going refurbished. Many major corporations overbuy furniture or have lightly used furniture, and they often donate it to charity or send it back to the manufacturer. The charities or companies then sell it for up to 80 percent off the retail cost. If you're buying from a charity, the proceeds from your purchase also go to support it, so it's win-win. Just search online for "refurbished office furniture" to find the organization closest to you.

If you fish, petroleum-based fishing line can be a menace and even lethal to fish, aquatic wildlife and birds if it gets loose and strewn in lakes and other waterways. When buying new fishing line, avoid petroleum-based plastic lines and look for new biodegradable ones instead. If the biodegradable line gets lost in the water, it will degrade quickly with just small amounts of carbon dioxide and water. But even with biodegradable fishing line, be sure to still bring the old fishing line back with you and dispose of it properly. Even during the biodegrading process, it can still be harmful to aquatic wildlife.
