If you’re anything like me, one of your biggest fears is wearing the same outfit twice in a week… or month (unless you can strategically dodge who you saw in the questionable attire.)
Could you go for the same outfit for 365 days? Sheena Matheiken vowed to wear the same dress for 1 year (yep) with only recycled accessories. Talk about making an environmental statement!

Hope you had a chance to prepare for a sustainable Easter this weekend! Here's what you missed this week on the green front, as well some Photo Friday fun below:
If you're a slacker like me, you haven't filed your taxes yet.
Make the process a little greener: Try using a program like TurboTax or H&R Block to file your taxes online. Spare a tree by saving a copy to an external hard drive or flash USB drive. Or, store the document on a secure place online.
If you really need to print out a copy, utilize recycled paper.
Also, if you're a homeowner: BONUS! You may qualify for some Energystar energy efficiency-related deductions. It can literally pay to be green!
