Did you know refrigerators are designed to remove moisture that is inside the unit? If there is too much moisture, condensation can build up on the interior of both the refrigerator and freezer in the form of frost and ice. Before putting anything in the fridge, make sure it has a lid or cover, since uncovered containers transfer moisture into the air. Water-rich produce like iceberg lettuce and celery can be problematic; cover them in paper towels, which will help absorb excess moisture. And avoid opening and closing the fridge too many times if it's warm inside the home. The influx of warm air can create too much moisture.

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.
