Want to become a "honu guardian"? Volunteer for the Show Turtles Aloha campaign and help protect Hawaiian green sea turtles on O'ahu's North Shore. The educational outreach program promotes respectful sea-turtle watching.

Volunteers will be trained on-site and should be able to spend a few hours a week educating beachgoers and caring for honu. For details: www.turtles.org/laniakea.

KEEP IT SIMPLE



GET RID OF PET HAIR ON FURNITURE

Pesky pet hairs can be a pain to remove from furniture. Try these tips from the show, "Talking Dirty With the Queen of Clean," on DIY Network (www.diy.com):

  • Put on a pair of rubber gloves dipped in cool water and shake off the excess. Rub the glove over the furniture in a rolling motion.

  • Wrap tape around your hand with the sticky side out and pat it over the furniture.

  • Use a clothes-dryer fabric-softener sheet.
