When we rehome, repurpose or recycle the things we no longer need, we free up existing resources for others and reclaim our homes with less guilt. Less Stuff is a guide for people who find it difficult to declutter and who don t want to see things go to waste. The book takes you through every room in the house, and gives you step by step instructions for decluttering, with zero waste, each one. The end result is a planet with less strain, a home with more peace and a life with more meaning.
