Live Green | Declutter | Simplify Life
Can you believe this week marks the halfway point in the 52-Week Decluttering Challenge? To celebrate, I’m starting some bedroom decluttering, focusing first on those horizontal surfaces that always seem to be a magnet for clutter.
I’ve also got a recap of my progress in the first 26 weeks of the challenge.
Plastic Free July 2024 is almost here. Again this year, I’ve put together a free downloadable and printable calendar of simple plastic-free swaps. I hope you’ll join me in rethinking your relationship with plastic this July. The health of the planet, and even your own health, depends on it.
With all four members of our family under the same roof, in this week’s edition of The Sunday Spark I consider how family time these days is precious—something to be savoured! Plus: rising coffee prices, environmental justice, soaring temperatures, and china cabinet decluttering.
This week’s task in the 52-Week Decluttering Challenge is one that’s bound to inspire debate on usefulness versus sentimentality. If you have a china cabinet, you’ll know exactly what I mean. Are you ready for china cabinet decluttering week?
Knowledge is one of our best weapons in the fight against climate change. With that in mind, I’ve compiled a list of environmental learning resources to explore. If you’re looking for ideas for films, online courses, podcasts and newsletters related to climate change and sustainability, you’re in the right place.
Happy Father’s Day! This week on The Sunday Spark, nuggets of wisdom I learned from my dad. Plus: Indigenous languages in Canada, bank investment in fossil fuels, and decluttering the front entranceway.
Does your house have a grand front foyer that belongs in a fancy magazine? Ours definitely doesn’t! This week in the 52-Week Decluttering Challenge, we’re taking on the clutter we see when we first enter our homes.
You might call this area a mud room, front entrance or foyer. Whatever you call it, there’s probably an opportunity to declutter the place where you enter your home to make it more welcoming.
I can’t believe we’re into June already. It’s a big month for me—my retirement month. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. It’s time for my May 2024 roundup. In addition to my monthly goals update, I’ve got some terrific blog posts on experimenting with new things, appreciating rocky landscapes, and charting your own path.
In this week’s edition of The Sunday Spark, I consider how fortunate I am to be retiring on my own terms. Also this week: celebrating the end of offshore oil permits in British Columbia, World Ocean Day, and linen closet decluttering.
Is your linen closet one of those “out of sight, out of mind” areas where you stuff your clutter so you don’t have to look at it? If it is, get ready for week 23 of the 52-Week Decluttering Challenge. This week, it’s time for some linen closet decluttering.
