SUSTAINABILITY

Eco-organizing is an intentional method of organizing that promotes the sustainability of the environment. When you eco-organize, you are being conscious of both the type of new materials coming in (i.e.-bins, baskets) and belongings going out. Finding organizing containers that are repurposed, reused or repaired instead of buying a new container will reduce waste and our carbon footprint. When this isn't possible, eco-organizers prefer the use of sustainable materials for containers, such as bamboo, wood, aluminum, wool, glass and cork.

     After decluttering, eco-organizers will donate, recycle, repair, and repurpose items as much as possible. The least amount of items possible will go to the landfill. I provide green resources to my clients so that continuing an eco-friendly lifestyle is simple.

Eco-organizing creates a purposeful way of living that will help you gain clarity, save money, and have accountability in your lifestyle. Taking into account the bigger picture of our footprint on the environment while you organize allows for a holistic experience - as you gain mental clarity and decreased stress through decluttering, you can also feel at peace about the impact of this process.
