Portable lights: Solar lights don’t just illuminate the yard. In a post-storm power outage, their bright glow can light the way inside your house, too. Just bring one indoors and stick the spike in a coffee mug, just like you see at left. This way, you can carry it with you from room to room or set it on a nightstand without worrying about blowing out candles before bed. | Garden Gate eNotes Terrarium, Gardening, Emergency Preparation, Ideas, Lights, Glow, Mugs, Can Lights, Power Outage

Choose the Cold Cycle Since about 90% of the energy used to wash clothes goes toward heating the water in a hot- or warm-water cycle, the eco- and budget-friendly play is sticking to the cold cycle.

Pay Attention to Plastics Reuse and recycle your plastics! Americans throw away about 100 billion polyethylene plastic bags annually, which takes a big toll on the environment. According to the EPA, the processing and burning of petroleum (which plastics are made from) contributes to global warming and sending plastics to the landfill increases greenhouse gases. So opt for paper instead of plastic when shopping, and invest in a stainless steel water bottle you can easily reuse.
