Reduce, reuse and recycle are the buzz words\u00a0for all of us.\u00a0\u00a0 Everyone is recycling these days! It is no longer just a trend.\u00a0 It is what we are focusing on as we are all away of the limited resources and overconsumption. \u00a0How do we take this to the next step in green organizing? Here are a few baby steps for being even more environmentally friendly.<\/p>\n

Set up your command center with a recycling bin right there.\u00a0 How easy this makes recycling!\u00a0 Have a paper and a shred bin right at that spot. \u00a0<\/p>\n
