Almost all receipts you get from a store are “thermal” receipts, made by using heat to transfer information to the paper. These inkless receipts may be handy, but they contain the chemical bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical that has been identified as an endocrine disrupter in humans. So, what to do with these receipts? First, refuse them and opt to have receipts emailed to you instead. Second, don’t recycle them. Recycled paper often is made into paper products like toilet paper and towels, which means BPA can get into these products from thermal receipts.

When you’re driving on a highway, you might wonder: What’s the most fuel-efficient lane to drive in? If it’s a multilane highway, the best choice is right down the middle. The middle lane allows you the option to easily pass slower cars, and it also allows other cars to pass you or merge to exit the highway. The reason it’s the most fuel-efficient lane is that over time, you accelerate or decelerate less frequently, which makes your car’s overall fuel-efficiency much better.

When traveling, it’s important to stay hydrated for health, so always remember to bring a reusable water bottle with you. At hotels, skip the overpriced bottles of water in the minibar and head to the hotel gym instead. Most hotel gyms offer free filtered water that you can use to refill your reusable bottle (even if you opt not to work out). Even the hotel bar or restaurant can refill your bottles with free filtered water. This is a great way to cut back on single-use plastic and save money.
