It’s Earth Month y’all!

If you, like me, grew up recycling; you may need to challenge yourself every April with new to you, ways to help keep the earth & the oceans healthy.

Here are a few easy tasks we can do to live more sustainably year-round.

Do you:

Recycle? Of course, you do!!!
Decline straws at restaurants?
Decline plastic utensils with takeout?
Use hazardous waste disposal sites for ‘Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) which is any product labeled toxic, poisonous, combustible, corrosive, an irritant, or flammable.’

To learn more visit DPW.

What more can you do?

What about food waste? I’m embarrassed to say, my husband & I have been putting our food waste in used vegetable bags instead of a compost pail! Not any longer!

I found this cutie on Amazon.

A compost pail that attaches to my under-sink cabinet door & masks smells: Genius

Another tip for everyone who hates spending their time shredding paper documents:

Google free shredding events near me in 2023
Put one near you, on your calendar!
If you’re near Hermosa Beach, CA; the Hoffman Murphy real estate team has a free shred day once a year…
contact them for next year’s date.

If we all challenge ourselves to lessen or stop our use of ‘one-use plastics products’, we will make a huge impact on the planet.

Yes, it must be spring because the parrots are back in Redondo Beach, CA.

Remember, New Leaf Organizing offers on-site and virtual organizing sessions.

Testimonials

Shopping is a very different experience for me now. I no longer waste money on filling my home with stuff. If I buy a "want" rather than a "need", I release enough "haves" to allow plenty of space for the new "want".

She is a master at setting up systems for managing paper flow. Louisa goes the extra mile and is willing to do what it takes to see a project completed.

I needed a listing decluttered, organized, and staged. Louisa Gravelle did a wonderful job. She created beauty out of chaos. The listing received multiple offers and sold for well over its asking price within a week of being on the market.

I am so grateful for your assisting my friend Susie who has postponed organizing her closets for many years. Her world is no doubt much improved and I know that her travels this summer will be more carefree knowing that a better organized life awaits her as she continues to work with you.
