I could have titled this as just waste created by living daily, but wanted to focus it down a little more. I feel kind of like im the crazy one that sees this insane waste when eating at restaurants, wrappers, cups, drink carriers going right in the trash, billions per day. Its insanity if you think about it.
I’ve at least been never using cup lids or straws and never taking drink carriers when theyre offered (what a massive waste of cardboard!). Then most of the waste is at least paper from the bag and wrapper. Still not great. And yes, I know the solution would be “cook at home!” But that also wastes a lot of freshwater from dish washing, and sometimes it’s just nice to eat somewhere else.
I wonder if this is just something you notice as you get older. Then again older peiple probably waste the most, but I’m just guessing.


Sorry, when im referring to those of an older age im thinking mcmansion, 3 campers and 4 trucks (most people in the Midwest cities) so thats where I was guessing more waste is created.
Yes of course the answer is stop eating fast food. Live in a cave, don’t reproduce, that is how we create the least waste. Im not suggesting that. Im saying it’s gross that these companies willingly waste so much when we don’t really need to.
