A few years ago, I wrote about the effects of our over-consumption of material goods on the planet.
Today, I’m looking at how minimalism at home reduces our household impact on the landfills and carbon emissions on a smaller scale.
Often, books, articles or blog posts about zero-waste or environmentally conscious living recommend some form of decluttering in the home. Beyond the obvious reasoning of not wanting to turn your own home into a miniature landfill, buying and keeping stuff you don’t need increases your impact on the planet every day.
