Waste is a human
concept. Nowhere else in nature can you
find systems that incorporate this belief.
Just exactly when and how mankind created this habit is a mystery,
although I’m sure Scientist’s would likely link it to the advent of agriculture
or some such revolutionary occurrence.
Waste is a subjective idea, proven by the age-old adage “one man’s trash
is another man’s treasure”, and it’s a notion that we have learned to merge
with our beliefs of worth and value.
Through this amalgamation we have come to create a concept of waste that
can mean many things, but always has a negative connotation.
