Earth911 always has valuable info, and their latest article on eco-friendly spring cleaning is no exception. Their new Spring Cleaning guide will make sure you're positively contributing to the air quality of your home (or office) and to the environment, even as you spray, polish, declutter, and reorganize.
One of the biggest take-aways for me is the emphasis on purging and creating open space. Going through those closets and cabinets that contain stuff that goes unused or unworn will help you free up space so that you're less likely to run out of it in the near future. The most cost-efficient and eco-friendly way to get organized is often to use the space you have better, avoiding expanding until you've used all of your current space efficiently.
Check out all the details here, including (my favorite) a guide to help you donate your old stuff. With all these options, you'll find it easier to avoid sending those purged items to the landfill.
Happy Spring Cleaning!
