One of the worst ways to waste gas when driving your car is to accelerate quickly when the red light turns green. When you make your foot act like a solid piece of lead, all you really gain in time savings is just a few seconds. Slowly accelerating and getting to the desired speed saves gas, and you will get to your destination in just about the same amount of time. Also, if you do pass a car, try to do it when going downhill, not up. The amount of gas burned trying to pass a car while going uphill is a major gas guzzler.

The kitchen is the heart of the home, but it can also be a breeding ground for harmful bacteria. Whatever type of countertop surface you have, take the time to regularly disinfect it. All you have to do is wash it and scrub away visible marks and dirt with warm, soapy water. Then dry it with a microfiber towel; the millions of microscopic fibers literally grip onto germs and bacteria. Then do one more thing: Spray rubbing alcohol all over and let it naturally evaporate. You can also use this same cleaning method for cutting boards.

Want to make one healthy and eco-friendly change to help you and your feline companion? If you have cats at home, it might be time to rethink the type of kitty litter you use to fill their tray. Conventional kitty litter is a combination of binders, with the main material being clay. The process of harvesting the clay is destructive to the planet, and the dust that's created is unhealthy for cat and human lungs. The good news is that many eco-friendly brands now exist that use old newspaper and wheat as an alternative that you can find wherever you buy your pet's food and supplies.
