There are many things you can do in organizing and clearing up the clutter in order to “be green” and help the planet. I have compiled a list of things that you can easily do and incorporate into your daily routine …
1. Donate – It is a very thoughtful way to organize and ensure the longevity of the life cycle of “things”. When you make a donation, you are really helping the planet and humanity.
2. Reduce size – The switch to a smaller carbon footprint is great for Mother Earth, of course. How much space do we all have? really need?
3. Minimize – Keep items at home to a minimum and you will reduce world production, fuel consumption and packaging explosion. You’ll also be truly amazed at how much more visually appealing it is. It will also be easier to find, use, keep items clean and return them to their proper places.
4. Re-purpose / modification – Before you throw something into the trash, ask yourself: “Can I change it somehow?” For example, maybe you can take a filing cabinet that you don’t use anymore and turn it into an office supply storage system. Or refresh that bench that your grandfather used to have in second grade and use it as a beautiful table.
5. Reuse / Reuse – Let’s retrain our brain from disposable down reusable for the health of our landfills. What can you reuse and wear one or more times?
6. Sell – When you sell items, instead of throwing away what you no longer love, use, or need, you make the buyer happy, the economy is healthier and the environment greener.
7. Shopping – Just buy it What you need when You need it. This will help the earth, your personal organization and your wallet. Also try second-hand purchases such as consignment, renovation and real estate sales. Buying what others no longer want is eco-friendly as well as chic.
8. SYSTEMS – Did you know that this acronym is “Saving space, time, energy and money”? Many of our daily housework can be turned into healthier habits for our environment, such as:
- Laundry – Complete full loads with cold washing and non-toxic chemicals.
- Preparation of the meal – Shop locally, plan your meals with first in, first out and compost in mind.
- Recycling – Take the time to browse your city’s recycling website and create a recycling center in your kitchen and garage that coincides with your city’s pickup.
- Paper converting – Go digital!
