Description
Where Am I Supposed to Put All This Stuff?!
Even though the average size of an American home has tripled in the last 50 years, this is the question so many Americans find themselves asking. We feel trapped by all this stuff! And why wouldn’t we when…
* Rented storage is the fastest growing segment of commercial real estate and 1 in 10 Americans rent an offsite storage space.
* 3.1% of the world’s kids live in the US, but they own 40% of the toys.
* Shopping malls outnumber high schools.
* The typical American family spends $1,700 on clothes every year, but the average American throws away 65 pounds of clothing in the same time frame.
* The home organization industry is worth $8 billion, a number that has more than doubled in just twenty years.
We all need less stuff! But how do you do it without losing your mind?
That’s where humorist and author Chris R. Weilert comes in. He’ll take you on a tour of all your stuff: what it is, how you got it, why it needs to go, and how you can get rid of it without making the Earth’s problems any worse. With both humor and heart, Weilert will have you chuckling at the cute collection of porcelain children you were convinced you couldn’t live without even as you box it up to get it out of your house.
What are you waiting for? Now is your chance to lose all this stuff...without losing your sanity.
