We throw away about $140 billion dollars' worth of uneaten food every year in the United States, so anything you can do to save leftovers and enjoy them within the next few days is good for both your wallet and the planet. When storing leftovers, look for portion-sized reusable containers to store individual serving sizes, which make it easy to grab one serving and enjoy it without getting into any others. Also, refrigerate leftovers within two hours of cooking, allowing hot foods to cool just enough and be ready for the fridge.

Do you want to extend the life of a face mask or use a nonchemical means to sanitize reusable face masks? A study by the Journal of Medical Virology tested the idea of just using steam to sanitize surgical masks and N95 respirators. It was simple: A used mask was placed in a plastic bag and steamed over boiling water in a regular kitchen pot. After just five minutes, the masks were completely sterilized, with no damage whatsoever. At home, you can use a handheld steamer to sterilize masks when washing and drying isn't an easy option.

A bonsai tree may seem like a beautiful and exotic plant to bring to your home as household decor, but think twice if anyone in your house has allergies. Bonsai trees are usually well-groomed miniature juniper and cedar trees. For many people, these two types of trees can trigger serious allergies. And even those who aren't allergic can still be bothered just by touching them. A prick from a bonsai tree can leave an irritation on the skin.
