What is Green Organizing?

Green Organizing is an environmentally-friendly approach to professional organizing, emphasizing the principles of "reduce, re-use, recycle". It encourages thinking about the social and environmental impact of your purchases, as well as the ethics of the companies you buy from.

Green Organizers promote:
Using recycled and/or biodegradable products where possible and feasible
Re-purposing and Re-using products rather than buying new products
Limiting the amount of unwanted items going to landfills by donating, free-cycling, selling, and recycling as much as possible
Purchasing organizing products from companies that adhere to environmentally sustainable manufacturing practices
