Moving is the perfect opportunity to declutter your home. And rather than selling or throwing away your unwanted furniture and household items, it’s even better to do some good and donate it. We put together a list of organizations that accept clothes, household items and furniture in the Greater Boston area. The places higher up on the lists are the most localized; as you go down each list, the organizations get bigger and the areas they cover increase.
Sometimes you have a big pile of, well, junk. Call one of these places and get them to take it off your hands. But be careful and ask questions before committing your items to these places, as some promise to recycle but don’t.

If we reduce food waste, it’s good for our wallet and our conscience; but it's also one of the easiest and effective ways we can tackle climate change head-on. Let’s start with a quick question:
Owning a home is a much touted part of the American Dream. You know the one: white picket fence, big yard, friendly neighbors. And whether it boasts a decorative fence or not, houses are one of the few commodities that increase in value over time. In fact, home ownership is one of the major factors in building generational wealth–assets that can be passed from one generation to the next, providing stability and financial safety for one’s descendants. Unfortunately...
