Q: 5 times the amount of alcohol in the recipe. Try to avoid “eyeing it” and pouring based on instinct, if you are doubling the recipe for the first time. To rise properly, you need 1/4 tsp. (1.15 g) of baking soda per cup (125 g) of all-purpose flour. If you now need 4 cups (500 g) of all-purpose flour, your baking soda measurement should be 1 tsp. (4.6 g).  Include extra baking soda, approximately 1/4 tsp. to 1/2 tsp. per cup of acidic ingredient. If your recipe calls for yogurt, buttermilk, vinegar or lemon juice, you will need slightly more baking soda to neutralize the acidity. If both baking powder and baking soda are in the recipe, it usually means there is an acidic ingredient that needs to be neutralized. To rise, you need 1.25 tsp. (4.44 g) of baking powder per cup (125 g) of all-purpose flour. If you have 4 cups of flour (500 g), you need 5 tsp. (17.77 g) of baking powder.
A: Use 1. Recalculate your baking soda quantity. Recalculate your baking powder quantity.

Article: Try to wash your hair every 2-3 days, rather than every day. When you wash your hair too often, the water and products you use can strip away the natural oils produced by your scalp, which help to keep your hair healthy. When these oils are stripped away, your hair can become brittle and your scalp may begin to overproduce oil, which could make your hair very greasy. When you decrease how often you wash your hair, your hair will feel cleaner for longer after you do wash it. Many drugstore products contain chemicals such as sulfates which actually cause more damage to your hair. Ingredients like silicone can clog up the pores that produce natural oils and dry out your hair. Look for natural products that contain less harmful substances.  Finding out what products work best for your hair is generally a trial and error experience. If you feel like a certain product is making your hair look flat or dull, try a different product. Choose products based on your hair type. If desired, you can ask your hairdresser for their recommendations for products formulated for your hair type. Shampoo helps to get your hair clean and free of dirt and built up oils. To use shampoo properly, wet your hair first. Then, apply a small amount of the product to the top of your head and scalp. Lather the shampoo and work it into your hair with your fingers. Try to avoid rubbing your hair harshly, as this could cause damage.  You can also try applying shampoo to your hair by putting some shampoo onto your fingertips. Use your fingers to comb the shampoo into your hair, rather than rubbing your head vigorously. Purchase anti-dandruff shampoo if you have dandruff. When applying conditioner, try to only apply it to the longest parts of your hair, rather than directly on to your scalp; if you put conditioner on your scalp, it can make your hair very greasy and weigh your hair down. Work the conditioner into your hair with your fingers, leave it on your hair for a few moments, and then rinse it out. You do not necessarily need to use conditioner every time you wash your hair, particularly if you are prone to oily hair, but it can help to protect your hair against split ends. Taking a hot shower can cause heat damage to your hair, much like using a blow dryer can. To avoid this, try turning the heat down to a lukewarm or cool temperature while you wash and rinse your hair. In particular, use cooler water when rinsing out shampoo and conditioner, as heat can counteract the nourishment the conditioner has just given your hair. Cool water can also help to make your hair look shinier. While you do not need to use conditioner every time you wash your hair, you may find that your hair becomes more healthy if you deep condition your hair once a week. To deep condition your hair:  Lather conditioner along the length of your hair. Let the conditioner soak into your hair for 10 to 15 minutes before you rinse it out. Once it has been rinsed out, use your shampoo and conditioner as you would during a regular shower. When washing the conditioner out for the second time, use your hands to smooth down your hair, rather than rubbing your hair to get the conditioner out. Blast your hair with very cold water once the conditioner has been washed out to close the cuticle and restore the shine. regularly. Along with washing your hair regularly, you should also wash your brush regularly. When your hair is oily, that oil can get on to your hairbrush. When you brush your hair, that oil can then get spread through your hair. Wash your brush with warm water and shampoo. Let it air dry completely. Try to avoid towel drying your hair, or using a blow dryer. When you rub your hair with a towel or wrap your hair up in a towel while it is still wet, the towel can actually rub against your hair and cause split ends and make it frizzy.  Instead, use an old T-shirt or a pillowcase to dry your hair off. These fabrics are softer than towels and are less likely to do damage to your hair. A microfiber towel is gentle enough to use on your hair without causing frizz or damage.

Q: VOCs are chemicals that easily escape into the atmosphere through common use around the house. Check the front label of household products to determine if they contain VOCs.  Examples of common products include nail care products (acetone, ethyl alcohol), paint strippers or adhesive removers (methylene chloride), and aerosol spray products (butane). Check the National Institute of Health's Household Products Database for more information about specific products and their ingredients.  Shop for "green" products that don't contain VOCs. If you must use VOC products, buy in small quantities that can be used quickly instead of stored. If you must store the product, do so in a tightly sealed, original container, in a well-ventilated area. Gasoline emissions are one of the major causes of smog--whether from vehicles or lawn equipment. Try eco-friendly lawn mowers, hedgers, trimmers, or any other lawn equipment that can be powered electrically.  You can also avoid mowing altogether by changing the material in your yard. Opt for artificial grass, succulents, hard landscapes, or rock gardens to do away with mowing forever. This will also save you time and money spent on maintenance and watering. There are also "real grass alternatives" that look and act like traditional grass turf, but require less maintenance. When you buy products that are made locally, it cuts down on the cost of transport which reduces emissions. Local farmers' markets and grocery stores can help you determine where items were produced.  There are many sites online that link local buyers and sellers such as Direct Local Food, GrowBuyEat, and AgLocal.  Besides farmers' markets, try local farmers' stands, farms, and wineries. There are even many restaurants that are joining the movement towards supporting locally grown items.  Make a community garden. Grow vegetables and fruit for your community and local distribution. The less energy you consume at home, the less pollutants that are released into the atmosphere. There are many ways to decrease energy consumption including through lighting, heating and cooling, and appliance use.  Replace your old incandescent light bulbs with energy saving halogen incandescents, CFLs, and LEDs which can be found at your local hardware store.  For heating and cooling try energy-saving thermostats that automatically reset temperatures while you're away from home. Shop for energy-efficient appliances that use less energy such as washers, dryers, refrigerators, and dishwashers.
A:
Avoid high VOC products. Avoid gas-powered yard equipment. Buy local. Be energy efficient in your home.
