How do you know if you’re supposed to help an injured wild animal or just leave it alone? The Humane Society of the United States says the following: The animal should be brought to a wildlife rehabilitator if it was captured by your cat or dog, or if the animal is bleeding, has an obvious broken limb, is shivering/crying (baby animals) or has a dead parent nearby. You can find wildlife rehabilitators near you by searching the list at humanesociety.org.

Has there been a large bumper crop of berries at your local market? This is the time to stock up on organic berries at a fraction of the price. Organic strawberries in particular are a must-buy item, since strawberries are very porous and absorb anything sprayed on them. Freeze yours by placing washed and de-stemmed strawberries on parchment-lined cookie sheets. When frozen, place them in airtight containers or freezer bags and you'll have frozen berries ready to go all season long. Come winter, you’ll be glad you used this tip!

It's common knowledge that even when turned off, TVs that are left plugged into the wall continue to draw electricity called "phantom power" that wastes your money. But TVs aren’t the only electronic devices in your home that draw power while not in use. Anything with a cord that goes into the wall can draw phantom power, so walk around and unplug rarely used things like stereo speakers, gaming systems, printers and even chargers for your smartphone. If you do this, you could recoup hundreds of dollars on energy costs over time.
