The nonprofit OneSight works to bring new eyeglasses to people all over the world who otherwise could not afford the gift of vision correction. One way to help the organization is to unload your junk drawers of old eyewear -- including regular glasses, sunglasses and bifocals -- and drop them off in free recycling boxes at stores like LensCrafters and Pearle Vision. The old eyewear is stripped and recycled, and all the proceeds are donated to OneSight, which uses the funds raised for its important charity work.

Even with the best intentions, many of us have problems keeping household plants alive, which may actually have to do with the type of water you're using. If you have a water softener system that uses salt, that treated water may be slowly killing the plants. Softened water contains salt, which can build up and dry out plants. It's best to use filtered water whenever possible or fill up a bucket or large pitcher and let it sit out overnight. Any chlorine, minerals and even trace salt will dissipate, leaving you with perfect water for your plants.

A clean house is a fresh-smelling house, and it's key to keep artificial fragrances and chemicals at bay to achieve this. One natural essential oil that packs a powerful punch is eucalyptus oil. Eucalyptus has antibacterial and antifungal properties, plus it has a naturally pleasing scent. When polishing wood furniture or floors, add two tablespoons of eucalyptus oil to a gallon of warm water. Then polish, mop and clean away. It'll disinfect, clean and deodorize the home all at the same time.
