“Getting organized is more than just purchasing great containers to hold all your stuff. It’s about using what you have, donating what you don’t need, and recycling whenever you can.” - Southern Home Organizers
Here are some useful green organizing tips you can start implementing today:
- Utilize recycled products when available
- Reuse items around the house rather than buying new products
- Limit what you send to the landfill by donating, gifting, and recycling what you can
- Purchase organizing products from companies that adhere to environmentally-friendly manufacturing practices
- Use a small white board instead of multiple paper notepads to jot quick notes
- Sign up to reduce your junk mail (check out www.reduce.org)
- Donate items you no longer use on the Freecycle Network (www.freecycle.org)
