How much do I waste and use.

What living things did I use last week?
- Toilet paper is the major thing that I use no matter where I am.
- My high heals are leather.
- My bass guiter's body is made out of maple wood and the neck is redwood.
- My most of paint brushes are hair from pig, racoon, and horse.

How much wastes did I make last weeK?
The total of my waste would be a half of a bag that holds 13gallons. but What makes hard to caliculate is that I have to consider the wastes from other house holders who aren't really guilty to waste things as least they don't seem like it. so the total wastes from the whole house would be the 5 gabbage bag of packages, papers, food wastes, and on which I think is way too much. There are 4 households include me, but we have visiters almost everyday, so it's the part of reason why we have so much wastes but I totally believe that we can reduce them by little change on how we buy food. First thing we can do is not go to Costco. Things are cheaper there, but because one package is too big to finish it before it gets bad, we end up throwing them away. I understand that my host mother wants to go there not to warry about when many people come over, but otherwise she could have gone to PCC which si her favorite organic supermarket and little amount of good quality of food. Even if those are pricier, it's a lot better for the environment. so the first thing that I have to work on for me is that talk to my host mother to make her undertand and convince her to go to PCC more.
