EP67 Decluttering is not wasteful - here is what is

NOT decluttering is actually more wasteful than decluttering - because when you declutter you are being brave and bold enough to actually look at your consumption habits and past shortcomings and realizing that you don't actually have a problem of not enough, but a problem of too much.   We want to declutter and we have so many reasons WHY, and we have so many reasons we don't - one being that decluttering and letting things go can feel SO wasteful. We see the potential in everything. We see something that someone, somewhere could use at some point. We see piles and piles of stuff that will contribute to landfills and that makes us feel so bad. But this is the hard truth - most of your clutter that you don't want - no one else wants. The waste is NOT in decluttering, or throwing things away. It's falling into the consumerism and overconsumption trap in the first place.
