Most of us know items like vegetable scraps, fruit peels and eggshells can be added to the compost bin to biodegrade down into mulch. But did you know expired pantry staples like herbs, spices, jams, jellies and preserves can also be added? So long as they are made from all-organic materials, they, too, can break down. But when it comes to anything sweet, be sure to mix it with other organic materials -- like leaves and grass clippings -- to prevent insects from invading your compost bin.

When your child outgrows his car seat, there's no reason to throw it away. Recycleyourcarseat.org makes it easy to find out how to do just that in your community. First, you'll find out if it's possible to reuse or donate your car seat. If it's beyond repair or donation, the site can help you find places where the materials will be separated and recycled. Even if you live in a rural community with few recycling services, the website can still help you make sure your old seat never sees the dump.
