Add autumn leaves to the compost pile or take this opportunity to begin composting. Composting is safe and environmentally friendly, and it provides a nutrient rich soil amendment or growing medium that can benefit your plants year round.
Bring summer herbs indoors so that you may enjoy them year round. As they may need time to transition, start bringing them in before the weather and temperatures turn colder.
Make use of the entire pumpkin. The meat of the pumpkin can be used to make pumpkin pie, muffins, and soups (to name a few ideas). The seeds can also be roasted for a great snack. And when time comes to dispose of the pumpkin, it can be cut up and tossed into the compost pile.
Create a one of a kind costume with the use of old clothes, thrift store and consignment shop finds, or found objects.
Install a programmable thermostat — not only is it predicted that you can easily save 10% on your heating and cooling bill, but it will also in turn help reduce your energy consumption.
When flushing out your radiator this season look or ask for a propylene glycol (PG) formula. It’s less toxic to children, pets, and wildlife than ethylene glycol (EG) coolants.
Check your tire pressure and tread. Outside of safety issues, worn tread and improper tire pressure can decrease gas mileage.
