As a society we love stuff, it’s a statement about who we are and who we want to be. But apparently, this message is at odds with the looming environmental crisis. We’re now struggling to balance these worlds, to focus on the things that bring us real connections and nourish the soul. Award-winning comedian and product designer, Scott Bennett is desperately trying to cleanse his life of stuff, but is this even possible anymore?
