A naturally warm home is also a humid one. Humid air retains heat better than dry air. Among the easiest ways to help capture naturally humid air are two things: Let the hot, humid air from your morning shower waft from the bathroom into the rest of the house, and also do as much cooking as possible in your home. Also, running a humidifier can add moisture to the room, helping to maintain heat and also create a more comfortable living environment.

Just because there are pretty flowers or flowing streams on the front of the plastic water bottle doesn’t mean what's inside is pure. The Natural Resources Defense Council found that over one-quarter of all bottled water is actually from the tap. And even if it’s filtered, they still found instances where this water had chemical phthalates, mold, arsenic and even E. coli in samples. Even more concerning, you have no idea if that chilled bottle previously was stored under conditions where excessive heat could leach chemicals into the water. Just a friendly reminder: Use a reusable bottle and fill it with clean tap water.

Many communities and major cities are adopting rules to outlaw disposable plastic shopping bags and encourage the use of reusable bags as a way to cut down on single-use plastics. But for those on fixed incomes, not having a stash of reusable bags could be reality. To help, consider doing a drive to collect unwanted, lightly used canvas and plastic heavy-duty reusable bags to share. You can also partner with a popular local store -- like a supermarket -- to do a drive to share bags for those who are unprepared for new bag-ban regulations.
