    When the wax in your favorite candle gets too low to burn, place the candle in a small pot and place the small pot in a larger pot full of simmering water. Once the wax is melted, remove and dispose of the wick. You can now pour the wax into a mold of your choice and let it cool to make wax melts, which will fully burn in a wax melter. If your candle jar isn’t an innovative Arbor Made vessel with a silicone base, place the candle jar into a small pot and place the pot in a larger pot of simmering water until wax melts, then pour it into wax melt molds.

    Climate Quick Tip: Rescue Your Next Meal

    Collect fallen leaves to make mulch for your garden. Place leaves in a ventilated container. After about one year, the leaves will have turned into a material you can use to mulch your garden. If you don’t want to leave the fall leaves to pile up on your lawn (despite the benefits) you can save and store them in a ventilated container to create mulch for your garden instead.

    Just 35% of aluminum foil gets recycled out of the 1.5 million tons American toss, even though it’s infinitely recyclable.
