Watch "The Story of Stuff" by Annie Leonard How much "Stuff" do you accumulate? I know that I have lots and lots of "Stuff" which I've accumulated over the years. Guess the only good thing about that is that I've managed to keep things out of the waste stream. So far anyway. Until my son inherits it and then???
An excellent thought provoking video. I guess the best thing to do with years of accumulation is to have a garage sale and donate to those in need. We don't mind parting with it if 1: we get money for it and 2: if it helps someone in need. I try to keep only what I need or love. I try to keep in mind that I am only going to eventually sell it or give it away, then I find it easier not to buy everything I think I would like. Before I buy I ask myself if I really NEED it and if it will make CLUTTER. It is a struggle, no more like a war! Sometimes I just delay buying, go home and think about it. When I do this, I sometimes go back for it but more often don't.
