Does your home office or workplace have a ton of unused flash drives? Unfortunately, there's not much value in recycling flash drives because they aren't made with valuable recyclable material. But they are reusable, and they can be reformatted to help children learn. The website RecycleUSB.com has partnered with SugarLabs to produce portable educational platforms that can be run on any computer, all with the use of a USB. Your old USBs are erased and formatted with a portable learning center, which means they are being reused to help those in need. Simply fill a padded envelope with your old USB drives and send them to the address on the RecycleUSB.com website.

Did you know all of the spam email filling your inbox isn't just a pain to go through and delete, but also is costing you a lot of money? Poring through unwanted emails and deleting them can take several hours a week, using electricity that can average up to $110 a year in wasted energy costs. To save time and energy, activate the spam filter files on your current email account. Or have two email accounts: one strictly for email and another you use for newsletters, updates and whenever you make a purchase online.

It's true: Organic food at the supermarket can cost more. But that doesn't mean you can't find great deals and save money with a little old-fashioned coupon clipping. The website allnaturalsavings.com has "clippable" coupons to help you save on organic groceries from national brands. At the time this "Do Just One Thing" tip was written, the site offered money-saving coupons for organic baby food, coffee, snacks, beauty products, eggs and more. In fact, there were over 100 coupons for brands that are easy to find at your local store.
