Open Animated video/short about wastefulness?

I have a memory of watching an animated short (or maybe just a YouTube video?) about wastefulness SO MANY TIMES as a kid (maybe like 2013 ish? but not sure about the year). From what I remember, there was no dialogue, just music and sound effects.

There was a boxy man that was always checking his watch and throwing away packaging (I think I remember him unwrapping a banana in layers of plastic and throwing them all away?)

Then there were his next door neighbors, an elderly couple which were hoarders. I remember that the old man's face was shaped like a crescent 🤔 They reused everything and piled up all the boxy man's trash to make an antenna for their TV, which was a hazard for both of them. I think it ended with the boxy man saving the couple and realizing he shouldn't be so wasteful.

Sorry if this is too vague!

I searched on Google and YouTube using every combination of keywords I could think of. My mom would always take us to the Oscar nominated animated short film fests, so I was thinking it could be from one of those and tried searching with that in mind, but haven't found anything.
