In the natural world, nothing goes to waste. Waste is nonexistent. Every morsel of a fox’s droppings is part and parcel of the intricate closed-loop system that is nature where the same could nourish a berry bush’s growth thereby providing food for birds which will then eat those berries and ultimately, the bird will, at some point, becomes a meal for the fox. Hence, every waste produced by nature is simply a resource waiting to be utilized by another organism.
In England, the household recycling rate has shown a considerable improvement since 2008 with an increase of 43% from 35%. In Wales, only 54% of its current municipal waste gets recycled. However, an online panel survey on trends in attitude and self-reported behavior conducted by the Waste Reduction Awards Program (WRAP) in 2011 revealed that 60% of residents in Wales claim that recycling is “very important” to them and even with the act requiring additional effort, 78% of people in Wales are shown to more likely recycle, a stark difference in comparison to its Scottish neighbor with only 51% of its populace labeling recycling as “very important.” (Defra, 2013).
