Today is Earth Day, so what can YOU do?

Today is earth day, so in lieu of a Friday Favorite, let's honor mother earth and remember a few ways we can do our part to help the environment. Here are some ideas for what you can do:

Weed out: the first step in getting organized is to weed out and lighten the load. Not only will you simplify and feel lighter, you're reducing your carbon footprint.

Give items a longer life: When weeding through unwanted things, opt to donate or sell what you can. Getting what you no longer use into a grateful new owners hands is not only satisfying, it's eco friendly!

Purchase smart: Minimize what you purchase (after all, how much do we really need) and once you've decided on a purchase, consider it's impact on the environment.

Watch this with your family: Watch Annie Leonard and the Story of Stuff to teach others about what happens to all of the things we purchase...
