Incense sticks seem like a healthy choice to burn in your home; after all, these fragrant sticks are often used in places like yoga studios and spas. But the reality is, anything that burns is releasing toxins into the air, and as sweet-smelling as incense sticks are, they contribute to an unhealthy indoor air environment. If you want to bring scents into your home, it’s best to consider using a diffuser, which warms up natural essential oils. Choose a diffuser that does not use a candle (since the candle can emit pollutants) and can be plugged in to warm up the oils.

There’s a lot of information online about the safety of plastic cling wrap when used in the microwave. Old plastic wrap was made with PVC, which contained plasticizers called phthalates that were considered to be hormone disrupters. But nearly 10 years ago, PVC was phased out in favor of polyethylene plastic, which is phthalate-free. Unfortunately, even polyethylene plastic has been found to contain chemicals that are linked to endocrine disruption and some cancers. Whatever the answer is, there’s no need to use plastic wrap in the microwave at all. Simply cover what you’re heating with a dampened paper towel or cover the bowl with a plate. It’ll prevent splatters and get your leftovers hot in no time.

Do you want to help your local animal shelter beyond just writing a check? One way you can help is to be a transporter for animals. Many organizations that pull at-risk animals from kill shelters need volunteers to pick them up. They also need drivers to take adopted animals to vet appointments or adopt-a-thons during high-occupancy months. You can also take an adopted dog or cat to its new foster home. Just making a shelter aware of your travel plans can help connect the dots so they can coordinate where you’re going to help an animal in need.
