This is my paraphrase of the saying "One man's ceiling is another man's floor" - and I'm not trying to be sexist here with the use of the word "man"; I am just using the title of a Paul Simon song (for anyone out there who remembers him.).

It's just the way it is. But where it becomes a problem is when we consume and/or waste too much. Then waste management becomes an issue.
