It is hard to believe another year is over. We accumulate so much during the year, including memories, experiences and yes ‘clutter’. I try really hard to avoid purchasing unnecessary
items throughout the year, but come December 31st, I find myself asking the question “why did I buy that item, and was it really necessary”.
On New Years Eve, I plan on renewing my green commitment as my New Years Resolution. It is time to go back to basics, by simple reducing, re-using and recycling. Donating unwanted or unused items to charity is a great start; there plenty scattered throughout the Arlington Neighborhoods. Items that are not suitable for charity will need to be recycled, fortunately there are also plenty of recycling centers in Arlington Va, and through-out Northern Virginia. Final stage of the plan is to reduce, not making unnecessary purchases. Instead of buying an item for one time use, consider asking friends to borrow the item.
Like everything we need to assess from time to time that we are on the right track, and at the end of each year is the perfect opportunity to check our green commitment. Want more environmentally friendly ideas, check out the Arbour Realty Blog Site.
Wishing you all a Happy New Year.
