Problem: Article: Conserving water not only helps save our resources for future generations, it can save you money on your water bill as well. Little things you can do to save water include:  Taking 5-minute showers or only filling the bathtub one-quarter to one-third of the way full. Turning off the faucet while you are brushing your teeth. Using urinals in public restrooms when they are available (for men and boys). Putting just a couple of dirty clothes into the washing machine uses extra electricity and wastes water. To save on electricity and reduce waste, wait until you have a full load of dirty clothes before running your machine.  If you only have a small load of clothes, wash them by hand instead. Alternatively, consider investing in a high-efficiency washing machine. Dishwashers not only use a lot of water, they use extra energy to heat the water up. Expect to save an average of $40.00 on your bills and prevent over 100 pounds (45 kg) of carbon pollution each year by only washing full loads. If you only have a few dishes to wash and are washing by hand, use a plug to fill the sink about one-quarter of the way full. Don’t allow the tap to continuously run while you wash and rinse. Consider putting low-flow faucets or faucet aerators in your kitchen and bathroom sinks, and low-flow shower heads and toilets in every bathroom in your home. A low-flow showerhead can cost as little as $10.00, but can reduce your water consumption by 30-50%. Using a cover will greatly reduce the amount of water that evaporates and thus the amount of water that is needed to refill the pool. The more the water in your pool evaporates, the more water you need to use to fill the pool back up.  Without a cover, you will use 30-50% more water. For an affordable option, use a bubble-style solar cover; for a longer-lasting cover, try vinyl.
Summary: Make conscious choices to lower your consumption of water. Wash only full loads of laundry in the washing machine to reduce waste. Run your dishwasher only when it is completely full. Install low-flow plumbing fixtures to help save water with every use. Use a pool cover if you have an outdoor swimming pool.

Problem: Article: This set is designed to lure minks to your trap using bait. Pockets sets use a small hole or pocket dug into a river bank. Make sure the bank is straight up and down. The bank should also be steep so that the mink cannot reach over from the top and grab the bait while avoiding your trap. The pocket’s bottom will be two inches below the waterline. Extend the pocket 1 to 2 feet into the bank, making sure it angles up towards the topsoil. The diameter of the pocket should be around five to six inches. Use a spade or small shovel to easily dig the pocket. Use a heavy object to hold the branch in place. This will also help prevent the mink from reaching over the pocket and grabbing the bait. Your bait should be either be a fresh fish or a muskrat carcass. Place the bait deep into the hole towards the very back. Impale the bait with something small, such as a stick, and push the bait into the wall of the hole. This will make the mink go deeper into the hole to reach the bait. You can also use fish oil or raccoon glands as a lure. The trap should be at the mouth of the hole. Placing the trap at the entrance ensures the mink is trapped if it decides not to go all the way into the pocket. Use either a body-grabbing or foothold trap. If you use a foothold trap, it should be rigged to drown the mink instantly. If you are in an area where dogs go do not use meat bait or raccoon gland lures. Place the trap in the very back of the pocket. Make sure the pocket is under the cover of low-hanging branches or exposed tree roots. This will make sure that dogs avoid the trap. While mink are naturally curious, they are also cautious. Minks have a very strong sense of smell and will avoid the trap if they catch your scent. You want to eliminate all human scent from the trap to make it effective. Pour mink urine around a set to eliminate human odor.
Summary: Use this set to lure the mink to your trap. Find a suitable bank. Dig a pocket in the bank. Place a large branch or small tree trunk above the pocket. Place the bait. Place the trap. Eliminate your scent.

Problem: Article: Line a baking sheet with nonstick aluminum foil or parchment paper. If the fillets still have skin on them, lay them on the sheet with the skin facing down. If the fillets do not have skin on them, it does not matter which side faces down. Brush the fillets with just enough olive oil to coat them. The oil helps the fish to stay moist inside the dry heat of the oven. Add salt and pepper to taste, over the olive oil. Salmon can be baked without a sauce, but it absorbs flavor well and a sauce can help the salmon stay even more moist. You can create a basic sauce by whisking together the yogurt, honey, mustard, and dill in a small bowl. The salmon does not need to soak in the sauce, but you should try to spread the sauce evenly over the top of each fillet. Like all fish, salmon cooks quickly. It should be ready within about 20 minutes. Test the fish with a fork when you pull it out of the oven. If the salmon flakes easily in looks opaque, it should be ready.
Summary:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius). Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet. Season the salmon. Create a sauce. Spread the sauce over the fish. Bake the fillets inside the preheated oven.
