Nature is wasteful. How many seeds falling from trees produce nothing?

The truth is that there is no such thing as waste in a closed system, save what we receive from the sun and stars.

“Wasted” food becomes food for those other than for whom it was intended, be it rats, insects or as fertilizer for the next crop of “wasted” food.

I hate when I plant seeds and I have to pull up seedlings to thin out my garden. Oh the horror.

I use to dumpster dive for green compost material. (Plenty of brown material, not enough green to keep it hot.) But now most grocery stores have their dumpsters locked up. It's even difficult to find a florist that doesn't have their trash under lock and key.
