Those super-durable, waterproof envelopes that come to you via UPS or FedEx are often made from Tyvek. While it feels like a plastic paper, it’s actually 100 percent polyester that’s spun together to make the heavy-duty material. Since Tyvek is hard to recycle, one thing you can do is save large envelopes for when you travel. Place ironed shirts in individual Tyvek envelopes (this will keep them from wrinkling), or put wet bathing suits in one when returning from your fun in the sun.

If you’re looking for a highly effective and nontoxic way to control an ant infestation in your home, look no further than all-natural diatomaceous earth. First, what is it? It’s a powder that acts like silica, but it is made entirely from fossilized marine phytoplankton. It’s perfectly harmless to humans and animals, but it’s deadly to insects with an exoskeleton (like ants, bed bugs and fleas). All you do is sprinkle it where you see insects, and it’ll kill and repel. Just be sure to buy the “food grade” type at the store to get the truly safe variety.

Lilies can be beautiful flowers for floral arrangements, but they can also be deadly to cats. First, know the difference between benign and toxic ones: Peace, calla and Peruvian lilies can cause some irritation to cats if ingested, but they’re not deadly. It’s the so-called “true lilies,” like tiger, day, east and Japanese Show that can cause major problems for your cats if they chew on the petals. The toxins in these flowers can cause severe kidney failure and should be avoided in homes with cats.
