It's safe to say the whole world knows about WD-40.
Sold in cans as a water-displacing spray, people probably use it more for it's penetrating oil lubricating properties than it's ability to repel water.
Having dozens of household uses, WD-40 gets squirted into sticking locks, squeaky wheels and stuck door hinges. If someone spray painted your car with graffiti, WD-40 and a soft cloth can usually liquefy the paint and remove it without harming your cars finish.

It's truly amazing stuff... and I read the 39 other attempts at creating this product failed. Hence the name WD-40. I can only imagine that WD-39 sure must have been nearly the same. Surely...

1, Use Less Electricity.
Most of the electricity that is sent to your house is produced by burning fossil fuels like Coal, Oil and Natural gas. The more you use, the more fossil fuels are burned to create that electricity. The burning of these fuels creates Carbon Dioxide CO2. CO2 is a Greenhouse Gas which acts like a barrier to thermal radiation while allowing the higher frequency radiation, light, to freely pass through. Simply put, visible light passes through CO2 unhindered, falls on the earth, people, pavement, roof tops, lakes and oceans etc. These things absorb the light and get warm and release this warmth in the form of lower frequency Thermal Radiation. CO2 is opaque to Thermal Radiation thus, it can't escape back out into space. The result? The temperature of our environment goes up. The more CO2 in the atmosphere, the more energy is trapped. CO2 is not the only Greenhouse Gas but it is the most abundent. BTW, Glass is also a very efficient substance for allowing light to freely pass but it's not very transparent to thermal energy. This is why a Greenhouse is made of glass.

Here's how to use less Electricity;
Turn lights off when they're not needed, same with ceiling fans. My house has 2 outside lamp posts. 1 is halfway up the driveway and the other is by the back corner of the house. They have a sensor which turns them on when it starts getting dark out in the evening and they go out when the daylight reappears the next day. They are very convenient for when you come home late at night. The bad part is they light up my bedroom like it was broad daylight so in order to get some sleep I have the close the blinds. That's not the worst part. Are you ready for this? Each lamp post has a 500 watt bulb. So they are normally on for 9 hours a night. Do the math, 500X2X9 = 9000 watts a day, 7 days a week. That comes to 3,285,000 Watts a year, 3 Million, 285 Thousand Watts. And guess who pays for that? It didn't take me long to unscrew the bulbs from these 2 lamp posts. If I need lots of light outside at night for whatever, I just reach up and screw the bulb(s) back in and the light comes on.

I think flies prefer being outside. When they come inside most of their efforts seem directed towards getting back out again. It is strange how they easily spot an open window on the way in, yet are oblivious to it as a means of exit. It matters little how much one tries to show them the way out, they simply refuse to be assisted. Besides beating themselves against the panes of open windows, flies like to walk round the rims of cups, and the edges of plates, or trample all over bread boards. They seem to know all the places you would least like them to go.

I can only put up with a fly in the room for so long, and when it refuses to leave of its own accord, despite not wanting to be there in the first place, measures must be taken. A swipe from a damp dishcloth at lightning speed would be a quick solution to the problem, you would think. And that is what I always do think, despite knowing from experience that there is no justification for thinking it. I don’t know how many times I have been convinced of a direct hit, and even started searching for the body, only to hear a buzz on the other side of the room where a little black dot is whizzing round the light bulb. While the first strike is always executed with patience and stealth, wild thrashing usually follows.

I am slumped, exhausted and sweating in my chair, watching the little bastard running up the fridge door. Even then, despite overflowing with animosity towards the tiny rascal, I would rather not kill it. Why can’t it just do the decent thing and leave?

While flies make no effort to conceal their presence, spiders, by contrast, prefer to stay out of sight. Usually, I only spot one when I turn on the light and there is a gigantic specimen right in the middle of the wall. Whenever they are confronted they head for the nearest dark crevice, rather than the light. That makes them come across as sinister. Flies annoy me, but spiders worry me. I’m fine with the small ones, it’s the big ones I’m not keen on. While a big spider may only have a body the size of a peanut, it has legs half the length of a cocktail stick, and that is what creates the impression of size.

A completely different approach is needed for dealing with spiders. I keep two empty yogurt cartons at the ready for catching them, one upstairs and one downstairs. My method is to put the yogurt carton over the spider, slide a piece of card underneath it, and then tip the spider out into the garden. The bigger the spider, the more nerve racking I find the operation. The spider will bolt as soon as it sees the carton coming, so speed is of the essence. I do not want to trap its legs, nor do I want my hand to be any closer to it than it has to be, so a certain amount of speed has to be sacrificed in favour of accuracy. It may sound straight forward, but spiders do not go gentle into that good night; they try very hard to avoid it.

If the first attempt at getting the spider into the carton is not successful, its prospects immediately become better than yours. It is very difficult to get a running spider into a yogurt carton, and once it reaches the gap underneath a piece of furniture you may as well just forget it. I don’t suppose it’s such a problem, really. I may not be thrilled about sharing my home with spiders, but as long as I don’t see them it doesn’t really bother me. And if only they were better at catching flies, I would probably encourage them.
