Ep 95: Decluttering and the Environment With Michael Bartz

Have you ever tried to figure out the best way to save energy, conserve water, or generally help the environment, but found yourself confused by the mountain of information out there? Or worse, does it seem like no matter what you try it’s a drop in the bucket to the problem so you’re not sure it even matters?

Those are the questions and issues my guest on this episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show found himself pondering as he looked at the different ways he could try to help the environment while downsizing to a tiny home. What started off as a project to build his own custom tiny home, turned into a new found mission of trying to figure out how to have a bigger impact on the world around him.

Michael Bartz is the producer and host of the In Over My Head Podcast that follows his journey to lower his environmental footprint by building a 175 square foot off-grid Tiny Home. He felt overwhelmed by trying to "save the planet" and wasn't sure if all his downsizing and minimizing was really making a difference so he decided to bring in the experts.
