051: How to Handle Holiday Clutter with Joshua Becker

On this episode of the Sustainable Minimalists podcast, Joshua Becker offers strategies for handling holiday clutter.

Did you know? Americans have ridiculous amounts of stuff (about 300,000 items, on average!). Yet when people cite the important things in life, it’s family + relationships they mention, not their stuff. 

So why is it the holidays are often about gifts, decorations + clutter, clutter, clutter?

On this week’s episode, Joshua Becker encourages us to re-center ourselves around the true meaning of the holidays. He offers his best tips for decluttering during the most wonderful time of the year, too.

On today’s show, contemporary artist Emmanuel “DoTT” Kunfaa pulls back the curtain on the dark side of donating and highlights they ways in which the illusion of charity is feeding waste colonialism.

 

Here's a preview:
