Look for linking words such as "into," "by," and "and" to spot double definitions. These clues typically don't use indicator words and vary a bit from the standard clue format. Instead of having a definition, wordplay, and indicator, they have two definitions whose meaning points to the same solution. For example, consider the clue "expose tactics by removing glove." You know that "expose tactics" is one definition and is joined to the second definition "removing glove" with the connector "by." After reflecting on the meaning of both definitions and trying to assess what they have in common, you'll arrive at the answer: "Show one's hand." Examine your clue for question marks to identify a cryptic definition clue. With cryptic definition clues, the entirety of the clue is your hintthere's no wordplay section of the clue. In the following clue, "Hairstyle with comb in it?" you're looking for a word that captures the entire meaning of the sentence. "Comb" is not meant literally but refers to "honeycomb." The answer is "beehive," which is a hairstyle and relates to the "honeycomb" reference. Spot a homophone clue by noticing indicator words that refer to sound, such as "heard," "sounds like," "say," or "spoken." Homophones are two words that have different meanings but that sound alike when said aloud, such as "bow" and "beau." Examine the wordplay for potential homophones, making sure to consider synonyms. For example, in the clue "Location of vision we hear," "location" is the definition, "we hear" is the indicator, and "vision" is the word that will produce the homophone. You'll need to consider synonyms of the definition ("location") and the wordplay target ("vision") to produce the homophone. In this case, a synonym of "vision" is "sight," which is a homophone of "site" (a synonym of your definition). Therefore, the clue answer is "site"!

Reusable water bottles, food containers, and shopping bags help reduce the amount of plastic used that eventually ends up in the ocean. When you do use disposable plastic, recycle it when you can. Some stores charge a tax for using their disposable plastic bags, while others offer shoppers small bonuses for bringing their own. This might mean buying local produce from the farmers' market, growing your own vegetables, buying responsibly caught fish, reducing your intake of red meat, and cooking at home rather than dining out. Storing food properly in your fridge reduces waste, too. Put food that doesn't require cooking, like yogurt or cheese, on the top shelf where it's warmest. Food that needs high-temperature cooking, such as meat and seafood, should be stored near the bottom. Simple actions include using energy efficient light bulbs, and walking or biking instead of driving a car. Being more mindful of your energy use will help reduce your "carbon footprint," positively impacting the environment. Other actions you can take include using a fan instead of the air conditioner, carpooling to your job or school, and air drying laundry instead of using the dryer. Stay up to date with emissions tests for your car if they are required by your state. Emissions inspections make sure your car is in good shape and help reduce its carbon footprint. If you live in the U.S. or Canada, you can find emissions inspection laws by state or province here: https://drivinglaws.aaa.com/tag/emissions-inspection/.

One-sentence summary -- Use fewer plastic products to limit ocean pollution. Choose safe and sustainable food to better the environment. Reduce energy consumption and cut carbon when you can. Pass emissions testing for your car.

Many indoor and outdoor air conditioning units will have a drain or drain line in the bottom corner of the drain pan at the bottom of the unit. It will look like a hole in the pan, and on some models, there will be a nozzle with a rubber or plastic line coming out of the other side. Make sure the drain isn't blocked or plugged so water and cleaner can drain as you clean the coils. If it has a drain line that seems to be clogged, pour a 50/50 water and bleach solution in the drain pan and wait a few minutes to clear it out. You can purchase algae tablets from air conditioning specialty retailers to prevent algae from growing and clogging the drain. With the cover set aside, you can look around at the air conditioning coils and make sure there's no large bits of debris that may have worked their way into the unit. It's not uncommon for leaves, sticks or bugs to find their way into the interior of an outdoor unit. You might want to use a shop vacuum for things like spiderwebs if you're uncomfortable removing them by hand. Be careful touching the fins, or blades, on the coil. They bend easily. Most compressors and motors in modern air conditioning units are maintenance free, but keep an eye out for dark drip marks on the bottom of the compressor housing or beneath it. That may be a sign of an internal oil leak. If the compressor or motor are leaking oil, it will need to be repaired by a certified technician. Don't attempt to over-tighten connections on the compressor or motor, as you may worsen the leak. Be sure to use your garden hose and not a power washer, as too much force could bend the fins inside the air conditioning unit. Spray the coils down to remove any loose dirt and prepare the coil for a spray cleaner. If the fan is still in place, avoid spraying it or its wiring directly with the hose. If your unit is indoors, you will need to use a different kind of cleaner for the next step.

Clear out the drain line (when applicable). Remove large debris from inside the unit with your hands. Look for signs of oil leaks. Spray the coil with water from the hose if its outdoors.
