So waste produced by apple to provide you an iphone is split into the equation somewhere.
My usage of water shouldn't exceed 400 kgs per month. That includes drinking, bathing, flushing, cleaning, cooking and washing hands (I even have a weird habit of doing that excessively). You can't get that much wasted water from that usage.
Actually, I noticed the word average just now. I am packing my bags.
You also need to factor in the wastewater to produce all of the other products you consume. That produce you bought at the store and rinsed yourself was also likely washed several times along the supply chain before it got to you. That one bottle of beer you drank? The bottle has been washed several times, inside and out, along with the vat the beer was brewed in, every single pipe and tool that was used to process or shunt it, etc.
What about frequently checking replies page out of FOMA?
What about the content I watch or read? The anime I watched last took lot to produce and there is no doubt, people wasted shit ton of paper along with other things are?
That is quite a lot of waste in terms of energy.

13 tons is also a mean - don't read too much into it. Some people will have very lavish lifestyles, creating tons of waste, and others will have more spartan lifestyles, creating much less waste.
I didn't mention the dumpster outside of my house while it was built. I don't know what percentage of materials was wasted, but I doubt it's a multiple.
Anyway, population's rising. We need new homes.
I'd like to see my ~1 ton of waste, per month, please.
Even as a wasteful American, this number is so staggering that I'd like to understand more about what all that waste is. Mining tailings? Coal ash?
Certainly, my trashcan that I bring to the curb every week only has a tiny amount of my waste footprint.
