newbuzz...More great weather today. We are cleaning our house from top to bottom. It is a slow process as we have not done such a thorough cleaning in many years. I have concluded that going forward, I am going to have a yearly audit/inventory to make sure that the stuff I am keeping and storing away is still necessary. Much of what I have now belongs to the kids, and they do not have a place to store it yet. I still have some of their toys and it would be nice to get rid of them. But, then I realize that the days of grandchildren may not be too far off. After keeping the toys for the last 20 years, it seems silly to donate them now when I may need them again in a couple of years. So, I just keep shuffling boxes around in the name of organization. I am newly committed to going green. I want to leave a much smaller carbon footprint in my future than I have in my past. I am bringing new energy and effort to this old adage: Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without. We must remember that the first two R's: reduce and resue are always preferrable to the last one:recycle.
