Zero waste clutter

EcoExplorer

I expected that moving to zero waste would leave the rooms feeling open the way a well-packed bag does on the trail, with only what actually gets used, yet the reusable containers and fabric scraps I set aside for later somehow multiplied into piles that block the light from the windows. Now the shelves hold more empty jars than I can track, and I keep pausing to wonder whether sorting them by size first would have changed how they stack.

The jars really do seem to multiply once you start saving them for later. I wonder if keeping just the ones you reach for in a single week and moving the rest out of sight would stop the light-blocking problem without needing to sort everything first.

The out of sight move sounds solid for the light problem, though those jars always seem to find their way back into rotation if you don’t set a hard limit on how many you’re holding onto at once.
