If you run a company or manage employees in an office environment, do you know the greenest thing you can do for the workplace? While using recycled paper, energy-efficient lighting and reusable cups are green choices, they aren't the greenest. Allowing a casual dress code for the office is. When employees have the freedom to dress casually, they wear fewer dry-clean-only suits and formal clothes, which cuts down on cleaning and the chemical used for it. Plus, studies show offices with a casual dress code also have the happiest and most productive employees.

Drafts from poorly sealed doors and windows are to blame for chilly homes and skyrocketing heating bills as the temperature drops. While repairs and sealants are the best way to block drafts, one DIY solution can help you keep your home warm on the cheap. All you need are two neckties (about the same length and size) and a needle and thread. Placing one tie on top of the other and sew them together, leaving a small hole at the top. Fill the tube with pebbles or dried beans before sewing it shut. Place the snakelike tube along the edge of a chilly spot to block the draft for good.

If your yard has a diseased tree or bush that you need to prune or remove completely, be sure to properly disinfect your gardening tools after you've done the task. Dirty blades on pruners can transfer the disease to perfectly healthy plants in your yard. But the good news is that cleaning your gardening tools is pretty simple: Just use warm water and a teaspoon of bleach. Or at the very least, hot, soapy water will do the job. Just rinse and wipe off with a towel to kill the germs on the blades.
