While one of the easiest ways to "detox" the air inside your home is to open all the windows in the front and back of the house, you might wonder: What do you do if your home won't allow that or the weather is bad? The next best thing is to take advantage of in-house ventilation systems in both the kitchen and bathroom. While the vents are designed to remove excess moisture, odor and particles, they also do a great job of cleaning the air. The vents are designed to suck in contaminated air and vent it outside. Leave all of them on for 30 minutes for a quick indoor air refresh.

It's important to protect your skin with sunscreen, but it's also important to avoid products that cause damage to coral reefs when you're having fun in the sun at the beach. When shopping for sunscreen, look at the ingredient list, and avoid products that contain oxybenzone and octinoxate. These two chemicals are thought to have damaging effects on coral reefs, essentially bleaching them and killing them outright. The good news is there are plenty of effective and less toxic sunscreens that don't contain these two ingredients in the marketplace.

Even during these uncertain times, your local food bank is actually discouraging the donation of food to help fill their shelves. The reason is donated food is often expired, contaminated or just unsafe to give away. Sorting through donations also takes time, which could be used instead by volunteers to help those in need. What they really need is cash donations. Food banks and pantries have relationships with wholesalers, and this means a single dollar can be turned into about nine cans of food. Cash donations enable them to get a lot more product to help people, and they can control the inventory to get what's really needed in the community.
