Good Together: Ethical, Eco-Friendly, Sustainable Living - Too Much 'Stuff'? Here's How it Impacts the Planet and How We Can Beat Overconsumption for Good

Too Much 'Stuff'? Here's How it Impacts the Planet and How We Can Beat Overconsumption for Good

04/24/25 • 36 min

Good Together: Ethical, Eco-Friendly, Sustainable Living

We have a major “stuff” problem. With everything we want just a click away, we bring new things into our homes every day... just to toss them out. This excessive consumption has led to an alarming statistic: The average American produces 4.5 pounds of trash each day. For a family of four, that’s 6,570 pounds of trash generated per year. This week, we're resharing a past episode where we dive into the issue with Nick Huzar, the co-founder and board director at OfferUp and the founder of StuffTV.
