Today, the choices I present are more from 365 Ways to Save the Planet.

#3 With an increase in on-the-go water stations that will refill your reusable bottle for free, there’s little excuse for needing to buy water. Commit to making your reusable bottle an everyday essential.

#4 As our temperatures reach 80 degrees this weekend, you may be thinking of turning on your sprinkler system. But first, be water conscious and think about where every drop you use in your home can be reused. An easy action is to use your bathing or dishwashing water on your plants or garden. You can even put a bucket in the shower that will fill as you wash. Just make sure there aren’t too many synthetic chemicals in the water.

#120 We have been discussing toilet paper but this one says: “Ditch the tissues.” Now we are talking “Kleenex.” While recycled paper tissues emit around 30 percent less carbon than tissues made from virgin wood pulp, no single-use tissue is good for the environment. A simple swap is to go back to using fabric handkerchiefs, which can be washed and reused. Choose linen for a smaller environmental impact than cotton. Or make one yourself using fabric scraps.

#245 Steer clear of synthetic, chemical-laden, single-use plastic cleaning sprays and embrace baking soda. Mix one part baking soda with two parts white vinegar as an eco-friendly cleaner. Revive dishwashing cloths and sponges by soaking them in baking soda and warm water.

#247 This week, I celebrated sour milk by baking biscuits and scones. But the book says: “Did you know you can use it to restore tarnished silver?” Add a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to a bowl of sour milk, put in your silver jewelry or silverware, and leave overnight to soak. By morning your silver will sparkle again.
