Fossil fuels are commonly used to create electricity. In some cases, alternative biofuels are used to supplement fossil fuels. Municipal waste and mud coal are two of the more common alternative sources of heat used to produce electricity. With 30 million tons of dried leaves being disposed of in landfills every year, dried leaves could be a good secondary source of fuel for electrical plants. Home steam turbine set-ups can use dried leaves in place of fuel or wood.

Manufacturers press flax seeds to remove their oils, resulting in linseed oil. Linseed oil is available as raw or boiled. Raw linseed oil generally requires dilution or it will leave a slow drying, sticky feel to furniture. Boiled linseed oil, while never actually boiled, has additives that speed up drying times. Using linseed oil restores and revives an old finish without having to strip and refinish. You can also make your own furniture polish rather than using a commercial furniture polish.
While tadpoles may be cute at the time, they eventually turn into frogs and multiply. If the idea of having your yard and pond overcome with frogs is not your idea of the creatures you are hoping to attract, and if frog chirping is not considered peaceful nature music, you may choose to kill and remove the tadpoles before they become a larger nuisance.
Steps Use a fishing net to fish out the majority of the tadpoles in your pond (this is for a smaller, man-made pond).
A Briggs manufactured toilet, like any other toilet, may one day need a new seat. The seat on a toilet will often wear out and look old long before the rest of the toilet fails. A Briggs toilet seat is attached to the toilet in the same way as most other toilets, with two screws that go through the back of the bowl towards the bottom of the tank. A new toilet seat can be purchased for as little as $10 (as of 2010) and will take as little as 10 minutes to install.
