Not only can a taxi ride to the airport be expensive, it can be wasteful, especially when you see the lineup of taxis arriving with just one passenger. To save money and cut down on carbon emissions, find a fellow passenger to share a ride. Cab Match is an iPhone and Android app that helps you find potential riders to share your cab. It's easy, and it does everything from searching for passengers to setting up chats with potential riders. Bon voyage!

If you love honey, do this one thing: Wash the jar thoroughly before placing it into the recycling bin. Honey imported from out of state can contain different strains of bacteria that could be harmful to native bees. If the residue honey inside the jar is put into the recycling bin, the sweet smell could attract bees. The bees can pick up the bacteria and bring it back to their hives, contaminating them.

If you have a problem with rabbits and other small animals digging up freshly planted flower bulbs from your garden, start collecting old berry containers to use as a barricade. Dig a hole in the ground, insert the berry container, plant the bulb inside and cover with dirt. It will create a barrier that prevents animals from digging up the bulbs while giving the flowers room to grow.
