Eco-organized Homes Lead
to a Healthy Environment


 

By Cyndi Seidler

Organizing a home to be eco-friendly involves getting back to nature and creating a toxic-free, natural environment that conserves and preserves our natural resources.  Part of natural living involves reducing waste around the home.  And clutter is waste.  

What most people don't realize about clutter is that it is unhealthy. They just see it as a nuisance or interference. However, truth is, clutter collects dust and dust is not healthy for us to breath.  Not only that, but environmental health threats are often encountered among piles of debris.

Clutter isn't the only thing threatening our well-being. Junk that accumulates and sits around without meaning, use, function, or value makes our lives more difficult.

A good "junk sweep" helps people let go of belongings they no longer need, helping to streamline their living environments. Some of this junk can be recycled -- given to a charity that will distribute it or selling it at garage sales or Ebay, even The Recycler.

Become eco-organized and start practicing organic and recycled living. That means clear out the clutter, get rid of the junk, and buy what you need from recycled material!
