When it's time to replace your mattress, you might wonder what you should do with your old one. If it's in decent shape, you should try to find a friend or family member who needs or would be willing to take it, since most nonprofits do not accept used mattresses. But if it's in bad shape and ready to be disposed of, the good news is that it is recyclable. Approximately 90% of the materials used to make a conventional mattress can be recycled. To find a recycler near you, just visit the website byebyemattress.com and enter your zip code to find local drop-off facilities near you.

Taking a hike through our parks is a wonderful way to get exercise and see the beauty of Mother Nature. But according to the American Hiking Society, there are some simple rules to follow to ensure that your next trek is a green one. First, focus on using the trails and avoid walking on vegetation and grass; even if there's a mud puddle, walk through it and get dirty to avoid widening the trail. And leave with no souvenirs. That means no picking wildflowers or leaves, and no picking up rocks, as they may be a vital part of an ecosystem that's invisible to you.

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.
