The Mess We Made

We all do it: We keep our bills in binders, our bank statements, all other kinds of paperwork. But do you know how long we have to keep it?

A receipt for a product you bought can be thrown out when the warranty expires. It’s the same with bills -you can get rid of them after a while, six months or a year.

Do that, and of course recycle the paper. This way we can be ahead with creating new paper from the old stuff we don’t need anymore. You’ll have less clutter and help the trees stay in our forests.
