The short answer? You recycle it.
9 Tips for Setting (and Keeping!) Intentions This New Year
New Year’s resolutions are A-W-F-U-L. We feel the pressure to become this new, more evolved person just because we’re flipping over the calendar.
By February 27, when we’ve gone back to our old ways, we beat ourselves up and totally call it quits. Then, what do we do the next year? Yup… we do it all over again.
This year let’s ditch the resolutions. Let’s try intentions instead.
37 Questions for More Intentional Holiday Conversations
Connection is something we could all use a little (or a lot!) more of. That’s one of the reasons we L-O-V-E the holiday season. From November to January, we’re all warm and fuzzy thinking about all the opportunities to live, laugh, love (sorry) with our friends and family.
But, let’s be honest. Sometimes holiday connection feels just a tad… forced.
9 Tips for Sustainable Gift Giving
As it turns out, the holidays aren’t that great for Mama Earth. For example, we pitch 25% more trash between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day than any other time of year. That’s 25 million tons of garbage.

Everything is more expensive nowadays. But during the holidays, we try to ignore the sticker price, don’t we? After all, we want our friends and family to have all the things.

Here are 10 Ways to Save Over the Holidays.
9 Tips for Preventing Food Waste
Since many of us will soon be bellying up to an overflowing Thanksgiving table, we decided this would be the perfect time to both express gratitude for all that delicious food—and pay homage to the planet that produced it. And there’s no better way to do that than to make our celebrations a little more sustainable.

The What, Why, and How of Mindfulness Meditation
Life can get really tough sometimes. We feel like circus performers trying to juggle work, family, friends, hobbies, sleep, health, that thing someone asked you to do last week, and more. All at the same time.
It’s a lot to deal with, and most of it is stuff we can’t just … stop doing. So instead, we have to learn to cope with it. Mindfulness meditation can help.
Life in Denver: Berkeley Neighborhood
Berkeley is the definition of good vibes. With its absolutely-in-the-city-but-damn-if-it-doesn’t-feel-like-a- small-town vibe, it’s a lovely spot for everyone from first-time home buyers to empty nesters and everyone in between.
The Teacher Becomes the Student: 13 Things We Learned from Our Own Move
Listen, we do this buy and sell thing every day… but for other people. In those situations, we’re slightly removed from the heat of it all, and it’s easy to forget just how taxing the process is.
