A.K.A. Cleaning out my closet for Poverty Day
My closet is so full, there are wild animals living in there!
Today is Blog Action Day, the aim of which is to bring awareness to poverty issues.
The action I’ve chosen to take is a simple one. I’m cleaning out my closet, and giving the excess clothes to the Salvation Army. Any clothing that is worn out will be torn up and used as cleaning rags. But most of the excess clothes in my closet are in perfectly good shape.
Fall is the perfect time of year to sift through all of those extra summer clothes! Find your closest Salvation Army, or clothing donation box and give them away to someone who needs them.

Everyone, give a warm welcome to the latest addition to the Green-Book.ca team: The Peace Lily! I’ve appointed it to the very official position of Director of Oxygen Creation. For short, I’ll call my lily DOC.
Indoor air can sometimes be up to ten times more polluted than outdoor air. Keeping plants in your office is a great way to improve the airquality of your workplace. According to the UK’s House of Plants, Peace Lillies in particular are especial good at filtering harmful stuff out of the air such as: alcohols, acetone, trichloroethylene, benzene and formaldehyde.
It seems as though Peace Lillies were designed for office use. They don’t require much sunlight, and don’t need to be watered every single day.
