If it's kinda chili outside, but you still like to eat citrus fruits, then save your peels! I know I love the aroma of boiling my citrus peels, whether I'm peeling some for my family, or just for myself. It's healthy to keep as much as you can eat from the white layer just below the peel too. It's high in calcium.

Put the peels in a medium-sized pot and fill with water. Set to medium-high heat, set in your peels and let it sit. You can start one in the morning and keep an eye on it throughout the day and refill with water if your running real low. You don't want it to bubble per say, but you do want some vapor rising up. You warm up your house and give it a warm citrus smell too. Save on your electricity for the day if you heat it just right!Everyone's stove is different so figure it out.
Also, if you just cut lemons/limes for squeezing into juice, a recipe or over food, then save those halves. There are many uses for these if your gonna be cleaning for that day. You can use it to clean you tabletop, counters, and oven top. Just grab the sliced halves you save, squeeze and wipe on surface and wipe away with a damp rag (or whatever you use to clean). If you have issues with needing chemicals, then lightly spray/pour onto the rag before you use it. If you're not using the pieces that day then let it sit overnight in a dish that might need to be soaked with water for a few hours overnight and rinse away in the morning. Try not to exceed a day to get rid of the slice. Those same lemon/lime slices can be thrown into your dish disposal and release a fresh scent in your sink and surrounding areas. Just make sure the outside layer is still soft, not hard because then you'll ruin your disposal.
