Before you throw your hands up in defeat — or worse, dispose of all your belongings just to recover your sanity — check out this comprehensive infographic from Terrys Fabrics for a room-by-room guide to conquering your clutter.

In it you’ll learn:

• Different types of clutter — yes, there are various categories — including aspirational and sentimental;
• How to decide whether to chuck or save the various items; and
• How to tackle each room week by week.

There’s a reason why the infographic gives you a full month to tackle this task. It took more than a day to accumulate the clutter, so no one expects you to rid your homes and lives of it in 24 hours. Take it slow, be decisive about what stays and what goes, and then enjoy your clutter-free existence.

The problem: With all those antibiotics and the terrible living conditions of those animals, bacteria wise up and adapt, becoming immune to the chemicals. The result: meat sold at your local grocery store with antibiotic-resistant bacteria, such as salmonella and Campylobacter.

This infographic from the Pew Campaign on Human Health and Industrial Farming illustrates just how out-of-control the practice has gotten. In 2011, 7.7 million pounds of antibiotics were sold to treat sick people in the United States. This compares with a whopping 29.9 million pounds of antibiotics sold in the United States for meat and poultry production.

As you can see, antibiotic sales for livestock weren’t always so high. They’ve been steadily rising since 2003 when approximately 20 million pounds were sold for that purpose.

What you can do

Urge Congress and the Food and Drug Administration to pass legislation that will get this problem under control. Visit SaveAntibiotics.org to take action.

Buy meat raised without antibiotics. Consumer Reports found that the best places to shop for antibiotic-free meat are Whole Foods, Giant, Hannaford, Shaw’s and Stop & Shop.
