How throwing stuff away can make you frugal (and green)

Are you a hoarder? Do you have too much stuff.....or really if you look at all of your "stuff" and think to yourself  "When was the last time I used that"? If you can't remember where you got it, when you bought it or how it even got into your home there is a good chance that you don't need it.
And it needs to be on it's way out the door, into the recycle bin or given/donated so that it can find a home where it can be put to use.

Being practical  about your clutter is another way to get green.
Keeping your digs clean and organized helps you and the environment.
Cut down on heating and cooling. Keep the dust bunnies at bay is better for your air. Don't block the sunlight with clutter, Let it shine in.

Green On!

25 ways to help Your Planet

Real Simple has jotted this lovely article about some easy wasy to help the planet.
Take a look, see anything familiar?

did you know?
Free lint bunnies. The average U.S. household spends up to $135 a year in energy costs drying clothes. A dirty lint filter can use 30 percent more energy to get the job done.

What about?
Curtail junk mail. It takes some legwork, but in the end, you’ll save trees, water, and emissions, too. If everyone in the United States reduced the junk mail he receives every week, 100 million trees would be spared each year. Go to optoutprescreen.com to stop receiving pre-approved credit card offers and sign up on catalogchoice.org to reduce the amount of unsolicited catalogs sent to you.

Give the article a read, I think it's worth it and has some great ideas or reminders about those we are't quite doing enough  :)

Happy Planet, Happy You!
