You may have heard that honeybees -- which are important in the pollination of flowers that help keep our food supply stable -- are dying. As more and more bees are disappearing and a clear answer is still unknown, there are small things you can do at home to help our bees. The easiest: Let your lawn grow with dandelions and clover flowers intact. While many of us think a deep green, weed-free lawn looks great, the reality is that bees need wildflowers to survive. Leaving them intact and your lawn herbicide-free will go a long way to help our busy bees.

Not only is microwave popcorn expensive (about 37 cents per serving), it also is wasteful and potentially dangerous: The nonstick coating inside the bag contains PFOA, a likely carcinogen, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Instead, buy popcorn kernels from the bulk bin at the supermarket. It's significantly cheaper, and you can pop it on the stovetop in about the same amount of time it takes to microwave popcorn. Plus, you can make as little or as much as you want!

With more of us now working from home, there are a few good incentives to switch your billing to e-billing and away from paper bills being sent in the mail. First, it's easy to switch, and you can manage all of your bills and banking from your computer or smartphone. But it's also more environmentally friendly. In the United States, "hard copy" paper bills generate close to 2 million tons of CO2 and also make up one of the biggest contributors to municipal solid waste.
