As someone who:

uses a car at least five days a week

makes a point of not heating rooms that are not being used

always takes reusable bags to the supermarket

recycles everything that can be recycled

never wastes food by letting it go stale or "off"

and doesn't give a tu'penny-ha'penny damn about other people's contribution
to the environment . . .

. . . may I point out that throwing away food should be perfectly acceptable
to the pseudo-environmentalists as long as the food is "returned to nature"
and not added to the general refuse destined for land-fill or incinerator.

All food will decompose quickly into high quality topsoil. Your garden's flower
beds or a local woodland will be the ideal receptacle for tea leaves, orange
peal, apple cores, bread crumbs, coffee grounds, vegetable stalks, banana
skins . . . and any food you have let go stale.
