Go Green Like Oscar Madison

Unknown.

Fans of the TV version of The Odd Couple will recall that Felix ran around the house spraying freon-powered volatile organic compounds into the air, while Oscar was seriously into low-impact living. In fact, Reclaimed Home calls him "the original architect of the green movement." Here are a few of the green ideas that can help you "save the earth by practicing the art of slovenliness":

1. Don't wash your clothes: Throw them on the floor and wear them a few more times. Conserve water.

2. Leave dirty dishes in sink: Rinse only as needed.

3. Oscar saved food behind cushions: This cuts down on refrigeration.
