Twice a year, make it a priority to clean the inside of your fridge and freezer, and purge any food items that are past their expiration date. Wash the interior of the fridge with a solution of warm water and baking soda to loosen hard spills so they soften and can be wiped out. If possible, pull the fridge out from the wall and vacuum underneath and behind it, since dust buildup can force a fridge to work harder. And make a pledge to always toss out old food throughout the year and recycle any containers that are recyclable.

Canadian scientists recently discovered that steeping a tea bag in hot water can release billions of micro- and nano-plastics into your cup of Earl Grey. This was by far the largest amount of plastic found in any beverage, and it’s easy to understand why: The tea bag is made with plastic, and it’s steeping in incredibly hot water. This is just one more reason to consider brewing with loose tea. Just look for stainless steel infusers; they contain no plastics and are reusable, too.

When buying kale, choose organic over conventional every single time. America's new favorite superfood also happens to be very hard to grow, despite its hearty and robust nature. Growing kale attracts a wide variety of crop-damaging insects, and many farmers use heavy amounts of pesticides to control the infestation, which can lead to a large concentration of chemicals on your kale salad. If you want to enjoy the health benefits of dark, leafy kale, look for organic. If you can’t find it, triple-wash kale to remove as much chemical residue as possible.
