- When you buy a new shirt, donate or repurpose an old one.
- If you add a new app to your phone, uninstall one you no longer use.
- If you buy a new book, consider giving away or recycling one you no longer need.
- When you take on a new project, consider letting go of a less meaningful commitment.
