STRAIGHTEN UP AND LIVE RIGHT

There's no excuse for that messy pile of kiddie videos, stuffed animals and finger-painted pictures on your living room floor. Consider these tips to help motivate children to organize their things from professional organizer Tom Nevermann and hgtv.com:

  • Plastic shoe organizers that fit over the closet door are perfect for organizing doll clothes.

  • Shelving racks that fit over the closet door are great for holding videos or DVDs.

  • Small file cabinets can store artwork and schoolwork.


    SAVE THE PLANET


    OCEAN NEEDS YOUR HELP

    From mauka to makai, our actions affect Hawai'i's marine ecosystems in many ways. The state Department of Land and Natural Resources offers these tips to protect our marine resources:

  • Learn and follow Hawai'i's fishing regulations.

  • Take only what is needed from the ocean; release fish whenever possible.

  • Help with stream and beach cleanups.

  • Dispose of trash and other waste properly; avoid dumping anything into storm drains.



    FINAL WORD

    "If there is a day you have eaten until you were full; if there is a time of joy you can recall; if you have escaped even once the clutches of death; if you can remember one or all of the above, then you have something to be grateful for."
