"Throw it away" -- an idea that comes easily across most people's minds. Whatever is no longer needed can simply be tossed in the trash: the plastic wrapper for the chocolate that was just eaten, a pencil that has been used up, or even a relationship that has become burdensome. The concept is very human, as we keep taking without giving back. We base these perceptions on value. Some things we don't need, while others we do. It is much easier to gather anything unnecessary, bury it in the ground, and ignore its existence completely.
True, the talk of recycling has improved in recent years. However, our attempts to recycle collapse. At times, the costs are too high, or the material is unsuitable, nonrecyclable. Humans make excuses and continue with their idea of "trash."
The catagories "trash" and "recycle," however, are foreign to nature. There are no useless substances or materials; everything exists and cycles through nature. What may be left over of a hunted gazelle could nourish a flock of vultures. Even the feces of animals return to the land to support nearby plants. The mass that goes in equals the mass that comes out, acting as a constant flow of conservation of mass. Yet, humans seems to ignore this concept, acting on their will and sectioning the continuity of nature with catagories of their own. at the slightest hint of difficulty
