What If You Never Threw Anything Away?
Hoarders. They can't bear to throw anything away. Hoarders pile stuff up everywhere, cluttering every space until they can't move anymore.
Would we all turn into hoarders if we never threw anything away? Or would we find new and innovative ways to repurpose our purchases, recycle our garbage and organize our homes if decluttering wasn’t an option?
