REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity De-Clutter My HomeHow can you prevent yourself from accumulating more things in the future?
Cindy Gosse 10/07/2019 6:21 AMAs I practice minimalism within my home, I continue to ask myself if the "stuff" in my house gives me joy. What I am discovering is that what finds me joy is clearing items out that I do not want. Since beginning this journey of minimalism, I'm preventing the accumulation of more items by staying out of the store and asking myself it items give me joy or not. I pass on many more items than I bring back into my home. -
Cindy Gosse 10/07/2019 6:18 AMI have become more aware of packaging of items. Growing up there was so much more paper and glass used (and I'm not that old either). Today, the majority of items are made from plastic. I had a discussion with someone on this topic and wondered how packaging majors (UW-Stout has one) could redesign packaging to utilize less plastics. In the meantime, I do not know how I could recycle one-time use packaging items that do not fall under the traditional recycling areas (such as the packaging from chicken or a bag of carrots).
