According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, nearly 41 million Americans face hunger, and that number includes 13 million children. When donating to your local food bank or pantry, it's key to donate what's needed most, rather than using it as a means to clean out your own pantry. Purchase muffin mixes that only require water over those that call for things like eggs and oil; the extra ingredients can make it difficult for people to actually use the mix. Canned soups and meats are rich in protein and can be used to make meals. And shelf-stable milk and juice boxes are coveted, since they last longer and can also be given to families with young children.

We all know it's important to make flossing a regular part of your oral hygiene routine. But did you know conventional dental floss is made from coated nylon and can take up to 80 years to biodegrade? The good news is you don't have to forgo floss, because more environmentally friendly alternatives exist. There are two materials flooding the marketplace -- silk and bamboo -- that have the same cleaning power as conventional floss, but degrade so quickly they can be added to a backyard compost bin or thrown in the trash. You can find alternatives online and in most of the retail stores where you normally shop.

If the thought of organizing a "swap" party with your friends to exchange old clothes, jewelry, accessories, movies and anything else sounds exhausting, think social media instead. Set up a swap page and invite your close circle of friends, then post updates with things you're willing to get rid of. People can see updates on their computers or smartphones, and they can claim things and swap for something else. This is a great way to find a new home for things that may otherwise get trashed.
