Having lived in the US for 8 years now, simply existing here causes more waste. E.g., packaging: many more layers and plastic; car centrism is another cause.
Also hearing how much food stuff (like left overs) my coworkers, friends, etc, throw out is insane.
Yet another example came to mind. I went to a baby shower a few yrs ago, as part of the decorations the parent had some really cute animal cutouts with a plywood back (good plywood). They where gonna throw those out, I rescued them and now they decorate my kid’s wall
Cops, truck drivers, delivery drivers, avg Joes just idling their cars because reasons
None of these are big corpos, this is just yankee culture
