Could you live with just 100 things?

People who want to live on a minimum are filling our landfills. Live with less if you must, but give your discards to those less fortunate, even if it means shipping it to Africa or Haiti.

I need this lamp.

Navin R. Johnson: Well I'm gonna to go then. And I don't need any of this. I don't need this stuff, and I don't need you. I don't need anything except this.

Navin R. Johnson: And that's it and that's the only thing I need, is this. I don't need this or this. Just this ashtray. And this paddle game, the ashtray and the paddle game and that's all I need. And this remote control. The ashtray, the paddle game, and the remote control, and that's all I need. And these matches. The ashtray, and these matches, and the remote control and the paddle ball. And this lamp. The ashtray, this paddle game and the remote control and the lamp and that's all I need. And that's all I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one - I need this. The paddle game, and the chair, and the remote control, and the matches, for sure. And this. And that's all I need. The ashtray, the remote control, the paddle game, this magazine and the chair.

I have to purge regularly these days (Mum), and EVERYTHING goes to charity.

I'm not sure if people here know, but charities get a value from everything donated. Torn or stained clothing? Sold for "rag" value. Ripped and coverless books? Sold by weight to recylers. Old towels and bedding? If given to animal charities will be used as bedding.

I'm a hoarder. I hold onto too much. But at least I'm confident that what I do reduce is either re-used or recycled.

Pretty much my only regular addition to landfill is cat litter.
Sorry guys.
Once I'm working I'll go back to the bio-degradable stuff.
