Foolishness is nothing to boast about. I can well afford to toss left
overs into the trash but then how will I live with myself with so many
hungry critters struggling to find a meal... not a crumb of anything
edible ever goes into my trash. If we don't want it I open my window
and toss it out for the critters, often within minutes some bird will
grab it. I prepared a big salad for lunch, all the parings went
outside, let me look, yup, every bit is gone except for some onion
peels, those will quickly decompose.
