If you hate standing in lines, here’s a fast and eco-friendly way to get your postal supplies sent right to your home. You can order things like postage stamps, envelopes, boxes and other supplies from the United States Postal Service website, and then your postal worker brings everything you bought directly to your home. Since the post office is working six days a week delivering mail, they’re going to be in your neighborhood anyway. This is a fast and easy way to get what you need and have it delivered without extra fuel being wasted to bring it to you.

As the hot summer days turn cooler, trees shed their leaves in preparation for cooler temps. While a leaf blower is an easy way to manage fallen leaves, it isn’t very kind to the planet; it’s believed that gas-powered leaf blowers can emit as much pollution as cars. Clearly, a manual rake is the greenest option. But for many people, raking isn’t always the most doable solution, so try the next-best thing: an electric leaf blower. They don’t generate any emissions, are generally quieter and are now cordless, which makes them a breeze to use.

Buying used is an eco-friendly choice, but it’s not always the best one. When it comes to products designed to protect you, you should think twice about buying used. For babies and small children, never buy a used car seat. There is no way of knowing the history of the seat or if it’s been recalled for safety issues. If you can’t afford a new car seat, there are nonprofit programs that can help you get one, often for free. And second, never buy a used bike helmet. Once the helmet has been involved in a crash, it’s compromised and won’t protect your head as effectively as if it were new.
