More than 80% of the calls received by the Humane Society of the U.S. (HSUS) Humane Wildlife Services involve wild critters trapped in someone's home. One common animal -- the squirrel -- often finds its way inside through small cracks and crevices near the roof. Their preferred method of getting to the roof is to jump through trees, so the HSUS recommends trimming tree branches so they are at least 6 feet away from the house. This practice not only keeps squirrels away, but it also protects your roof from storm damage in the future.

Ever wonder why it’s important to rest your dog’s food and water dishes on top of a floor mat? The mat does more than protect your floors; it also can protect your dog’s health. Dogs are messy eaters, and when you have a mat, food that falls out of the bowl goes onto the mat and not onto the floor, which may be covered in harsh floor-cleaning product residue. The presence of the mat prevents your dog from licking the floor and eating potentially contaminated food. Always remember to wash the mat to keep it clean, too.

When it comes to wines, it turns out the process of growing grapes and turning them into a fine glass of vino has a low carbon footprint. Grapes in general need very little pesticides to thrive, and the methods used to make wine are still rooted in the traditions of the past. So when does a bottle of wine become an eco problem? When you sip wine grown and made halfway around the world. The carbon footprint to import wine is extraordinary for two reasons: Cases of wine are heavy, and the distance they are transported is far. So, to sip green, try to go organic and look for domestic varietals.
