reduce, reuse, recycle

This conflicts with my decluttering, because I just keep picking up junk and try to find a use for it. I need to be more proactive about this. 4 months ago

have been given away and I feel like I’m really helping this person get their life on track. There’s some jewlery I don’t want anymore because I’ve had it since I was a little girl. I think I’ll give it to Nelly’s daughter, she might like it. I’ll try to give a couple of other items to friends and the rest will just have to be annonymously donated. 5 months ago

I realize that I have let way too much stuff accumulate over the years in my closet. I still have clothes from the 4th grade. It’s ridiculous. I’m giving away everything that isn’t completely destroyed. 5 months ago

I’m teaching my 20month old daughter how to recycle and compost when optional. She puts her diapers in the garbage and paper in the recycling now =)

I reuse paper before recycling it. I’ll cut a sheet into quarters for note scraps by the computer.

I reduce my waste by composting, not using plastic bags when possible and by walking more. 9 months ago

Hey guys! Thought I’d kick it up a notch for Earth day this year and help promote a few key ideas:

First and foremost, I’d like to introduce you to Shaklee. An amazing line of natural, non-toxic (and completely healthy for us and the planet) products. I just tossed (safely and properly) all my old household cleaners a couple weeks ago in faith of promised outcomes. I can’t believe how well they work. For any of you who have you used “greener” products, you have to admit they don’t carry a lot of punch. This one is different. You can check it out all over youtube.com or www.FreedomVI.myshaklee.com

Second, I have to tell everyone to go to www.post-it.ca/plantitforward. Right now you can dedicate up to 5 trees to people you know, and then they get to do the same and so on. They have set out to plant a max of 10,000 trees this year but only if you dedicate one! So far they are just over 500 trees dedicated for planting.

Finally, keep updated on ‘green’ topics by checking out my blog at www.kgnw.blogspot.com. This month is recycling!

Remember kids: Know Green, No Waste =) 9 months ago

The other day, I saw that old man washing his driveway with his garden hose…. the friggin’ snow is not even melted yet that he already does that!!! COME ON!!

On my part, I’M doing very good lately!! We moved a couple of weeks ago and we took the occasion to clear some of the stuff we had!! I took nearly 2 full carloads of stuff to give to the poor and we had extra large amounts of recycling over the last 2 weeks because of the move and stuff we recycled instead of putting in the trash! 10 months ago

Reduce: Clear out my clutter. Subtract from my possessions (One Less 365). Dispose/organize of electronic waste such as emails.

Reuse: Use a coffee mug for teas/coffee/small drinks (water). Utilize the tupperware we just received. Put my lunches in a non-disposable bag.

Recycle: Donate items rather than throw them away. Use proven, recyclable materials for items I know I will not keep. Invest in items that actually are built for multiple use. 13 months ago

Spent time yesterday cutting up old clothing into rags. I rarely use paper towels and I’m proud of that. 20 months ago

Installed a more energy effiecent air conditioning unit. Also reached the 500 things mark on my goal to get rid of 1001 things. That’s a great reduction. Hey and I have clothes on the line so that’s three! 20 months ago

Loved the towns recycling day. Getting rid of the things other recycling won’t take and doing it responsibly. Reducing at the same time. 21 months ago
