Some eco-clean up tips for the stuff that wasn't covered during Green Clean week:

>> How to clean your furnace filter. "A clean filter maximizes your furnace's efficiency and longevity -- and minimizes your energy bills." (via ATLA)
>> How to speed up your Windows XP, so you don't waste electricity -- and time -- unnecessarily. I took these steps over the weekend and am happy to say I'm spending less time waiting for the computer to catch up to me.
