Hi dear viewers, Lionardo is my name. Have you ever wonder what’s a good way to clean the blender? Here’s one way that might be make it easier, especially for the hard-to-reach parts around and under the blades. As soon as you’re done using the blender, rinse it, fill it half way with warm water, and add a quarter cup of vinegar. Then turn the blender on, and let it work the liquid for about a minute. Pour out, rinse well with warm water, and the blender container should be nice and clean. Thanks for listening in to today’s tip.

Hi, it’s me Trumpy the elephant. How about a little tip for buying fruit and vegetables? There are many reasons to buy locally grown fruits and vegetables, and today I would like to share one with you. Locally grown fruits and vegetables have longer to ripen, making them much tastier.  Because the produce will be handled less, locally grown fruit does not have to be picked when not yet ripe to allow time for shipping.  This means that you are going to be getting delicious peaches, figs that gently peel open, and melons that were allowed to ripen on the vine until the last possible minute. Thanks for listening in, on Supreme Master Television.

Thanks for tuning in for the tip of the day with Uncle Oinkster. Today’s tip is about making time to relax. I know, I know, there is so much to do, and if you're not doing it you're thinking about doing it.

A good practice is to lie down on your back, close your eyes, take a few deep breathes and then consciously relax your toes and feet, then your, legs, torso, arms hands and fingers, shoulders, neck, face and head. Go through each body part slowly, and then lastly feel your entire body totally relaxed.

Today, I, Trumpy the Elephant, would like to share with you household energy-saving tips for a healthier environment and greener jungles. Something all of us can enjoy, I’m sure. When thinking of energy conservation, think of household appliances. They account for about half of all the power used in homes. Energy savings can be substantial with some careful planning on our part. We can make our refrigerator more efficient by keeping it at a warmer setting and ensuring the cooling coils at the back of the refrigerator are clean and free of dust. When using the clothes washer, washing in warm water instead of hot water can save 50 percent of the energy costs. In addition, front loading washing machines use 40 per cent less water than top-loading machines. The International Energy Agency states that, if consumers choose new appliances carefully, they could cut global residential power consumption by 43 per cent. Together we can make a big difference.

Hallo there, dear viewers, it’s time for the tip of the day with me, Herrrrman the Horse. If you are thinking of putting up fencing, consider this: A 2-meter typical fencing panel costs about £25 pounds ($50 US dollars) and excludes the cost of posts and concrete. For the same amount of money, you can buy 50 hedge plants (40–60 cm high) that will give you 10 meters of thick hedge. It does take time to grow, but it looks nicer and the plants can clean C02 emissions.
