In my case, yankee poverty and mostly long habit. It's paper you load up with body goo then flush/pitch. Its also as ephemeral as a disposable product can be without even the kleenex box. Which I don't find objectionable or anything.
We buy hardly any disposable products. Shit like baby wipes are offensive, obvious plastic garbage american product and I'm judgemental as shit about people who buy them and use them like they just disappear or something.
Its more old yankee than modern hippy or whatever. Lazy convenience waste is criminal.
Im not completely consistent. We use too much disposable plastic food shit in the fridge. Plastic trash bags. Its tough. I hate it all.

@tomjennings@tldr.nettime.org I hate it all, too. But don’t be too hard on yourself for using trash bags. I’m one of those weirdos who believes that expecting individual households to make up for overarching government policy failure is a non-starter. Rock and a hard place, damned if we do/don’t, etc. This is an apocalypse, I think, brought about by systemic human billiionaire sociopathy. Combatting it with personal measures is noble, but doomed.
