Less stuff = less stuff to worry about.
Pretty much all there is to it.

I agree that people in general can benefit from periodic inventories of their stuff. Throwing out or giving away that which is no longer of use can be liberating in different ways.
However your BS about "reducing carbon footprint" is highly annoying, and antithetical to your main point of more personal freedom.
Please reconsider your own global warmist, propagandized point of view, and perhaps do some mental "right sizing" of your own.
Thanks.
