LIVING CLUTTER-FREE:

Getting rid of clutter doesn’t have to be a long, drawn-out process. Try these tips,

• Toss 10: Grab a trash bag. Find ten items in your home that you no longer need or want and put them in the bag. Toss the bag in the trash or put it in your donation box.
• Clear a Surface: Find at least one cluttered surface, such as a coffee table or dresser top, and completely clear it of all clutter, swiftly discarding any trash.
• Pick through a junk drawer: Whatever you can’t identify or is clearly junk (meaning you’ll never use it) get tossed.
• Throw away junk mail: Quickly go through your pile of mail and dispose of anything that is clearly junk mail.
• Put things away: While carrying a large shopping bag, go through your home and put in the bag at least eight things that are not in their correct place. Then, deliver those items to their proper homes.

RECYCLING REMINDERS:

Our recycling bins are filling up fast! This means that these materials are not ending up in the landfill!

• Please ensure that all items are empty and clean.
• Do not bring items from your place of employment or business.
• Flatten cardboard boxes, including small ones such as tea or tissue boxes.

EASTER TRADITIONS AROUND THE WORLD;

• Good Friday Reenactments: In the Philippines, people actually reenact the crucifixion.
• Polish Water Fight: People splash water on each other on Easter Monday to mark the baptism of a Polish prince.
• Nordic Witches: Children in Sweden/Finland dress as witches, seeking treats.
• Italian Fireworks: Florence celebrates with the “Scoppio del Carro,” a cart full of fireworks.
• Bermuda Kites: Locals fly homemade kites to represent Christ’s ascension.
• Easter Trees: Germans decorate branches with painted eggs to symbolize spring.
