Your old fridge has secrets 🤫

The idea of saving the planet sounds abstract until you realize that the machine in your laundry room that's humming a bit too loudly needs to go, and you can dispose of it responsibly instead of just dumping it in the woods. From where your old appliance actually ends up to home upgrades that quietly cut water use and carbon emissions, this week is all about greener living you can realistically implement in your everyday life.

Let’s get into it.

Your old appliance's afterlife is… complicated

You haul it to the curb and assume it rides off into recycling heaven. Reality check: old appliances take a winding, messy journey involving scrap yards, regulations, and some surprisingly shady detours. It’s not all bad news—but it’s definitely not simple.

Your home is thirsty (here's how to fix that) Reducing water use isn’t about heroic sacrifices or showering with a stopwatch. Small, long-game changes—inside and outside your house—can quietly slash your water bill without wrecking your routine. Drink less water

Geothermal: the fancy energy you've been ignoring

It sounds like sci-fi villain tech, but geothermal heating is basically your house borrowing steady heat from the earth. It’s efficient, shockingly practical, and way more accessible than people assume—especially if you’re already thinking long-term home upgrades.

A prenatal rethink (that might actually help)

Needed just reformulated its Prenatal Multi Essentials, designed around modern research on pregnancy nutrition—not the old-school standards a lot of prenatals still follow. If you’ve ever wondered whether your prenatal is really covering the basics (hello vitamin D, B6, selenium, and zinc), this one’s built to help close those common gaps in a simple 3-capsule daily routine.

Heat pumps are the climate hero you don't know

Heat pumps don’t burn fuel, don’t blast hot air the old-school way, and somehow still keep your house comfy year-round. They’re quietly becoming the go-to for cutting carbon emissions without turning your life upside down.
