Article: They need less watering, are hardier (hence, less products needed to protect them) and they attract the local wildlife. Besides, they are used to the local weather conditions. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and provide shade. Also, it reduces the soil and air temperature. They provide homes for wildlife and some trees can provide you with a bountiful harvest. What more incentive do you need?! Either reduce your lawn size or remove it altogether. Lawns are costly to maintain, the chemicals used on lawns are dangerous to our health and to that of the surrounding wildlife and lawnmowers emit high levels of pollution. Replace lawns with shrubs, ornamental garden structures, pavers for entertainment areas, native grasses and ground creepers etc.  In addition, what's better than being able to step outside and pick a few strawberries or an ear of corn?  Increase your own resilience by converting wasted lawn space into a vegetable garden.  Consider using drip-irrigation systems or constructing or purchasing a rain barrel (it saves you having to pay to pump water back into the ground). Compost the kitchen scraps and create beautiful garden matter to encourage better plant growth.  Make sure the heap is warm and well-turned.  Read a few books about composting.  It's rare to find someone highly skilled in the area!  Remember, soil is a living thing, it should not be powdery and dead.  Life comes from the soil, and therefore the soil should be kept alive.  Avoid highly invasive tilling if at all possible, but be sure to keep the soil aerated.

Problem: Article: Everyone in your house might need to pitch in and help take care of the cat, so it’s a good idea to discuss your plan ahead of time. If you are trying to convince your parents or someone else to let you get a cat, let them know that you will be responsible for it, and that you have done your research on how to care for it.  Some cats can live fifteen-twenty years or more. Before getting a cat, make sure that you or your family is willing and able to commit to taking care of an animal for that long. For instance, if your parents let you get a cat as a kid, make sure you or someone will be able to take care of the cat if you move out later on. Be prepared to spend time with your cat. Cats are relatively independent, and can stand to be alone for parts of the day. However, they still need lots of attention and play time, so make sure you and/or your family can commit. Be prepared to cover the costs of having a cat. Aside from the upfront costs of buying a cat and the supplies it needs, you will need to supply food, treats, shelter, toys, and vet care throughout the cat’s life. There are many different kinds of cats. Some people are interested in a particular breed, such as a Maine Coon, Abyssinian, Prussian Blue, Angora, or Siamese. Mixed breed cats, however, make wonderful pets as well. You should also consider whether you want to get a cat as a kitten or one that is older.  If you are interested in a particular breed, research it before buying one. Each breed is unique in terms of looks and behavior. Many breeds have special needs and/or are prone to medical problems, so you will also want to be prepared for these concerns. Mixed-breed cats may live healthier lives, and can make very friendly and loyal pets. They are also easier to find and far less expensive than pure-bred cats of a particular breed. If you bring home a kitten, you will raise it and discover its behavior along the way. If you buy or adopt an older cat, you will have a better idea of its temperament from the start. Before bringing a cat home, you’ll want to make sure you have everything it needs to adjust to its new home. Items you may need to take care of your cat include:  A litter box and litter Food and water dishes A supply of food and treats A scratching post Toys A bed or other place for the cat to sleep A brush to groom your cat Nail clippers or caps A collar and name tag Cats are curious creatures; to prevent yours from getting into something it shouldn’t, take steps to make your home safe before you buy the animal. For instance:  Make sure there aren’t any electrical cords that your cat can easily reach and chew on. Put cleaning products, poisons, and medications in a place your cat can’t reach. Keep your cat away from any toxic houseplants. Make sure your cat will have a quiet and safe place to rest. Once you have your cat, you will  need to take it to a vet as soon as possible so that it can have its general health assessed, and receive any vaccines or other care it may need. If the cat is over four months old, it can also be neutered. You can find out about good vets in your area by asking animal shelters and other cat owners for recommendations, as well as researching them online. Pet insurance policies usually don’t cover routine shots (which owners should get anyway), but getting a policy can save you from worrying about being able to cover the costs if the cat ever becomes sick or injured.
Summary: Make sure everyone in your home is ready to get a cat. Think about what kind of cat you want. Get the supplies you need. Cat-proof your home. Plan to visit a veterinarian. Consider getting pet insurance.

Avoid shelving books too tightly or leaning against one another as this can cause lasting warping, structural damage, and cracking. When shelving, place books of similar height and length next to one another to avoid stressing the spine.  Placing a book flat is an alternative to upright shelving. However, when shelving a book horizontally be sure to put as little weight on top of it as possible.  Grab the middle of the spine when removing a book from a shelf to avoid damaging the head (top) and foot (bottom) of the spine. Place your books in a controlled climate to help prolong the book's quality. Sunlight, heat, and humidity can all have negative effects on the book's binding, structure, and page quality.  Humidity can cause mildew to grow on your books. If you live in a particularly humid environment, and mildew begins to grow, simply wipe the mildew with a very dry cloth and leave the book in sunlight for 30-45 minutes. Be careful not to leave it longer as sunlight can cause the cover to fade.  If a rare or fragile book grows mildew bring it to a specialist in book conservation. Clean your books regularly in order to prevent natural wear and tear and increase the quality of their storage. Dusting your books will help reduce permanent page and cover aging.  Make sure to dust your books from the spine outward so dust does not settle behind the spine.  Avoid storing books in plastic bags. Books need to breathe and plastic can cause molding or warping. Instead, try wrapping the book in acid-free cloth or purchases a book storage box.
