Spring Cleaning: What to Toss and What to Donate

While you’re tidying up your space this season, you might find that you have several items you no longer want or need. These don’t all have to go into the trash! We’ll help you determine what items you can donate (including some you may not have thought of), and what might be better – or safer – to throw away.

The Environmental Impact of Buying

Earth Month is a great time to not only learn about our planet, but also about how the actions we take can affect it. Buying new items (and throwing out old ones) can increase greenhouse gas emissions and take up space in landfills – plus, not all of these items can be recycled. In this blog you’ll find resources and tips for how to reduce your environmental impact.
