What is waste?

What is waste?

Other than things we have used and discarded, they are also:

  1. Things we have kept in the store room for years.
  2. Things we never knew we had till we cleaned up the storeroom.
  3. Things we have multiples of that we do not need.
They are just things that are our possessions
until we throw them away.
And then they become waste
upon the face of this earth
They become refuse because they refuse to disappear.
When we burn them, they take different forms,
When we bury them they raise a stink and
pollute our precious environment.
They deplete our ozone layer and
make a hole in the sky and we will die
from all the ill effects caused by
all the things we have no use for.
QUESTION:
What can we do to reduce our waste
so that we can come clean finally
and return the earth back to what it once was?
