Why these picks
Lately, I have been thinking about how much potential we overlook in our own homes. We often feel like we need to buy the latest gadget to live a green life, but that is rarely the case. These stories remind us that a sustainable lifestyle starts with looking at what we already have with a fresh pair of eyes. I used to think my old jars were just trash waiting for the recycling bin, but it turns out they are the secret to a tidy pantry.
This week’s selection covers everything from the basics of kitchen organization to the deep history buried in your backyard soil. We are moving away from the idea that everything needs to be shiny and new. Instead, we are finding value in the old and the ordinary. Is there anything more satisfying than a project that costs zero dollars?
