| Reduce,
Reuse, Recycle & Composting
The
Earth is a system open to solar energy and closed
to matter; life here exists because photosynthesis
occurs and the green cell gives us a source of
economic value. The green cell is a sustainable
resource.
The
grocery business provides a tremendous amount
of food. This food comes from the green cell whether
literally, as vegetables or grain, or as meat
from animals that fed on the grain. In sustainable
ecology there is no waste. What appears as waste
is food for something else. This cyclic principle
rules and is non-negotiable. All of the green
"waste" in a supermarket can feed the
cycle through composting. This compost becomes
topsoil amendment and the cycle continues.
