article: Detach the tank on the carpet cleaner's front end. Make sure hot water is flowing from your sink's faucet, then put the tank's spout under it. The tank will have a line, about of the way up, indicating how far to fill it. For help locating and removing the cleaner's tanks, consult your owner's manual. Usually, all you have to do is lift up some plastic clips to free the tank. Pick 1 of the many carpet cleaning formulas available at any general store. This is a special formula designed to work with the carpet cleaner, so it's different from a carpet shampoo. The tank will have a second fill line above the first one. Pour the formula directly into the hot water until it reaches that line. Some cleaners have separate hot water and formula tanks. For these, fill the hot water tank full with water, then fill the formula tank to the fill lines with hot water and formula. Find the dial located on the front side of the cleaner, next to the tank. The dial will have settings for light, normal, and heavy cleanings. Depending on how dirty your carpeting is, select the correct setting and adjust it as you go. The tools dial is the large one on top of the water tank. Spin the dial until the marked arrow on it points down, towards the floor cleaning option. Your machine is now loaded and ready to go.

Write an article based on this "Look over the top carbon offset providers for trustworthy options. Look for carbon offsets that are legitimate and permanent. Buy from your utility company for a convenient option. Evaluate the "additionality" of the offset. Review the audits of the offset provider's portfolio."
article: Choosing your carbon offset provider can feel overwhelming, so start your search by looking up lists of top providers. Look at their websites to get an idea of what a legitimate provider looks like and what their projects are. Top trustworthy providers include: Carbonfund.org at https://carbonfund.org/ Sustainable Travel International at https://sustainabletravel.org/ Green Mountain Energy at https://www.greenmountainenergy.com/ Native Energy at https://nativeenergy.com/ For your carbon offset to be effective, you have to choose a provider that's funding a real project to enact permanent change. A legitimate provider will be verified and enforced by third-party organizations as well. Find articles and reports on the offset provider to determine if the project is legitimate. Make sure that the offset provider takes steps to make their changes permanent and lasting. If a project involves planting trees, the provider should be helping the trees reach maturity by protecting them from fires, for example. You know an offset provider is trustworthy if it's been reviewed and certified by a nonprofit organization like Climate Action Reserve, Green-e Climate, Gold Standard, or the EPA Climate Leaders program in the U.S. Many utility companies sell carbon offsets to their customers that will help offset the carbon dioxide produced by your use of electricity in your home or office. Because these are measured and sold directly, this option may be more convenient for you. Typically, you are charged a premium on your regular utility bill that offsets the carbon dioxide produced by your average energy use for that month. "Additionality" means that the offset must provide additional protection for the environment. In other words, your contribution shouldn't help accomplish something that would have happened anyways; it should give additional protection. For example, if the carbon offset provider is paying farmers in the Amazon to protect trees on their property from loggers, but one logger had no intention of allowing loggers to harvest trees on his property anyway, your carbon offset hasn't done anything that wasn't already going to be done. You also have to be on the lookout for leakage. Preventing deforestation by paying farmers in the Amazon to protect trees doesn't really do anything additional to protect the environment if a logging company can simply cut down the trees next to that farmer's property. The project typically will be audited on a regular basis by the same organization that provides certification for the product or vendor. These audits are just like financial audits conducted by any company or organization. If an offset provider is a nonprofit organization, you typically also can access the organization's financial reports. Through these reports, you can learn exactly how much of the money paid for an offset is going directly to the listed projects. For-profit offset providers rarely make these reports available to consumers.

article:
. There are plenty of safe, easy ways to decorate eggs. Hard boil the eggs in advance, then have the children use crayons, food coloring and sponges, or paint to decorate the eggs. Children might want to keep their eggs once they've decorated them, so you might want to hide a separate group of decorated eggs for the egg hunt. Instead of letting the kids loose to find all the eggs at once, give them clues to each egg in turn. For a real "treasure hunt" feel, write the next clue inside each egg, and have the last egg hold gold chocolate coins as "pirate treasure." The clue could be a riddle, a hidden reference to an object in another room, or a reference to something the kids did once. For instance, an egg hidden in "the jungle" could be in the center of some houseplants, while an egg hidden "in the land of birthday cakes" could be on a cake stand in the fridge. Make a ramp out of a wooden plank leaning on a stack of books. Cover the ramp and floor with a blanket in case of broken eggs, then have each person release their egg from the top of the ramp. The person whose egg makes it farthest wins a prize. Have the kids line up in two or more rows. Each of them holds a spoon. Place an egg in the spoon of each kid first in line. When you say "Go!" each line has to move its egg to the end of the line without the egg touching anything but the spoons. If an egg falls, you can either put it back on the first spoon or let the kids try to pick it up with only the spoons. While the kids can literally race their Easter eggs by pushing them with their noses, hopping while holding them, or another method, this race is more suited to an indoor location.
