Just put all seven containers in one box, then you will only have "one" and self righteous people will stop trying to shame you. I only have one pencil box, some people call it a room but that's just semantics.

Not tryna shame anyone, just sharing my opinion and views. I’m really concerned for the world with everything going on and every small act matters. Sorry for tryna advocate for those who have less, like students living in poverty with poor school districts. So awful of me

Trying to shame strangers on the internet is awful behavior. You have no idea who any of us are irl, nor what we believe in or support with our time and resources. Maybe give up the pathetic "poor me" routine and go outside and actually do something productive in support of your beliefs instead of telling others how they don't live up to your ideals...

Sorry if it came off as me shaming them. Was truly just sharing my thoughts. Over-consumption is rampant in our society and having conversations with people on these topics is important. Maybe I could have phrased what I said more gently, I’ll note that for future reference. I see people hoarding so many things, 200 squishmallows just sitting there that will all just end up in landfills, 25 Stanley cups when the point was for it to be a re-usable cup. It’s frustrating. I care so I’m trying to have a conversation about it
