How to Simplify (and Green-ify!) Housework
 
Laundry, dishes, and general home cleaning: Mundane housework got you down?
Sustainable minimalism is about doing less and living more. The good news? It’s entirely possible to apply the tenets of sustainable minimalism to housework by simplifying tasks, minimizing magnitude and -finally! – incorporating incremental eco-friendliness to our efforts.
On this week’s episode, I offer dozens of tips and tricks to simplify (and green-ify!) our laundry, dishes, and general housework routines so that you and I can spend less time maintaining our homes and more time enjoying them.
Happy listening!
