    A lot of the trash isn’t generated. It’s collected. A homeless person isn’t going out and buying stuff off Amazon or food that has lots of packaging. But if you live around homeless folks you can often recognize them by the pile of junk they’ve collected from various sources, most of which they don’t have any actual use for. Many just seem to have a compulsion to packrat things.
