BECOME BATTERY SMART
Stretch your battery use. A battery too drained to power a flashlight might be perfect to operate your TV remote. Before you pitch it – switch it!

CAR WASH
This one is surprising. Did you know that a commercial car washes can be more efficient than home washing? Check out you neighborhood car wash to make sure that they clean and recycle the water.

INDOOR PLANTS: NATURE’S AIR FRESHNER’S
Instead of picking up one of those yucky aerosol air freshener’s, pick up a plant instead. Investing in large, live houseplants  will help keep your indoor air fresher. Here is a list of just a few that can make a difference:

Pink jasmine (Jasminum polyanthum), string of beads (Senecio rowleyanus), wax flower (Stephanotis floribunda), and wax plant (Hoya). These plant all require some special care and bloom better in indirect light in a sun room or other well-lit location. They all should be allowed to slow down and rest during the winter, by reducing the fertilization and keeping them somewhat cooler.
