Wasted days

Sunny Sunday afternoon and I don't know what's going to happen today?
There's no outing planned and most of today will be spent at home cooking and eating and playing Atari because why not?
It's hot! Oh it's warm and humid and the cicada's are in full flow.
I want to record their orchestra and tell you the infernal din they make that easily drowns out my voice.
But I don't mind it at all.
Nature noises are sonorous if even loud and relaxing in a way they induce relief that not everything is concrete and pollution.
I look at the corner of this house where I've segregated trash and wonder how every two days there's so much crap coming out of the one house with only two humans and two cats?

The concerning part is that as much as I avoid plastic it always makes itself available around me.
What can I do to eliminate it by nearly half?
I mean This after upcycling and recycling and almost never buying anything plastic.
All the ziplocks I have are used over and over to the point of getting shredded and once they're done with I don't buy anymore.
There are no more Cling wraps in my house which at times does pose a problem but I have to get around it.
I don't even buy aluminium foils anymore because there are concerns regarding the absorption of aluminium in foods they're wrapped in.
Even aluminium utensils are a no no!

It really reduces the options but it's better to invest in something sturdy which won't be a hazard to life and health than buying something easy and cheap on the go.

Right, the trash that is beginning to pile up from the bathrooms, the kitchens, from under work space, from bedrooms and guest rooms and dining area.
What on earth is going on?
What are we consuming? What are we wasting?

I'm angry at everyone and myself for my inability to understand and curb this waste.
