Have you noticed that everyone and their little brother is going green? I think that's terrific. It's vital that we take care of the earth, and quit wasting so many of its resources.
With this same spirit, let me share with you the easiest way to green up your own organizing:
QUIT BUYING SO MUCH.
Frankly, that will save untold resources from being "consumed."
For inspiration, here are a few alternatives to purchasing things you want without having to rush out and buy them:
~ borrow from neighbor, family, library
~ rent tools, movies, wedding attire, sports equipment, musical instruments
~ look through your garage or storage shed to see if you already have one
~ use something else in its place (shampoo instead of liquid hand soap refill, cat litter bucket in place of new bucket, contractor trash bag instead of tarp under your picnic blanket, etc.)
~ Entertain yourself at home with all the great things you've purchased over the years (craft supplies, complete tv series on DVD, your music collection, books, hobby supplies, collections)
~ Clean and repair what you have, rather than drive over to Target or the mall to get what you think you need
Now see how much you can add to this list.
Have a blessed and green week!
