Japan in the News.

My heart goes out to Japan. Absolutely devistating.
Here is an interesting and scary look at the earthquake and how it moved.

Zero-Waste Zone

I've entered a new....area.
The idea of the Zero-waste lifestyle appeals to me at a deep level. I love the eco-friendliness of it.

Step 1 - unclutter your house... EVERYTHING (even closets and drawers and kitchen cabitnets!)

The beginning of it starts by cleaning clutter out of your house; renew it, reuse it, or recycle it. Once the house is cleaned out of things you don't use and don't need. It's time to start.

Step 2- consider each thing you buy or bring home.

If it has too much packaging...do you need it? Really? This applies to items purchased such as clothing and food purchased. What are you bringing home? The added benefit of becoming zero-waste conscious is how light you feel when you walk into your home. An uncluttered home....unclutters the mind.

Step 3 - I will fill in step three once I have completed step 1 & 2.

On the agenda today is more cleaning. I have a few more rooms to go and I will be ready to continue moving toward this fun, clean, living.
