Be green (as in environmental stewardship) by better managing green (as in dollar bills)

The clutter that many Americans face is due to buying more than is needed (or at least more than space is allotted). It is tough to not buy stuff. It is the basis of our economy. We want to be proud of our prosperity, and we do so with purchasing power.

However, a dollar spent ends up being a dollar cost. The cost is in space – both your space and space at the landfill. When you run out of space and de-clutter, more than half of the stuff will go to the dump.

What it all boils down to is this -- too much stuff comes from too much buying. Building sustainability at home, at work, in your community, starts with better resource management. And resource management starts with not wasteful spending.

With the economy sliding downhill, now is the right time for better resource management with a halt to wasteful spending, and thus discover space to live in!
