Two Easy-Peasy Green Organizing Tips

Getting organized and want to be green, but fear it is too hard? Here are two easy ways while getting organized that you can be eco-friendly!

Use what you already have. Gather up your partially used shampoos, lotions, conditioners, etc. and place them in a shower caddy and use them up.  Or pack them in a make up bag to use on your next trips so you don’t take the hotel samples.  How many meals can you create with the food in your fridge, freezer, and pantry?

Create a “use it or lose it” basket. Your friends, family and co-workers may love the smell of a candle that makes you sneeze or squeal with delight for a sweater your great aunt Edna gave you.   Keep it near the door so you remember not only to fill it up but to take it out of the house and distribute it!

    Another way to use those body washes and shampoos is to donate them to your nearest shelter. They are in desperate need of hygiene products of all kinds, and will be happy to accept partially used bottles.

    Great reminder, Robin! I blogged about this a while back.
