One of the biggest mistakes people make when trying to make their homes cooler in the summer or warmer in the winter is moving the thermostat to the highest or coolest setting. Moving the thermostat to an extreme temperature does not reduce the time it takes for your heating or cooling system to change the temperature of your home. You're better off setting the thermostat to the desired temperature so it stops there and won't accidentally keep overheating or overcooling the house.

There are many things you can do to help protect our oceans, but did you know being a responsible pet owner is one of them? For example, National Geographic says you should "never flush cat litter, which can contain pathogens harmful to marine life." Also, they suggest never stocking an aquarium with wild-caught saltwater fish and also never releasing aquarium fish into any body of water, because it could potentially introduce non-native species to an ecosystem.

There are a lot of reasons to not pick wildflowers and use them for arrangements at home. First, in many communities, it's simply illegal. Second, the flowers are needed by bees and insects, which feed on the nectar and pollen. And third, they actually can be dangerous for you to pick. Giant hogweed is a common flowering weed that resembles the popular Queen Anne's lace; it would seem to make for gorgeous arrangements at home. The problem? Its sap is so dangerous, it can cause third-degree burns and even blindness if you rub your eyes after touching it. For all of these reasons, let wildflowers be just that: wild.
