Why Throw It Out?
WHY THROW IT OUT?
We throw things out because we forget their story. Every discarded bottle, shirt, or leftover meal carries hidden costs: the water, labour, energy, and time spent to create it. When the bin closes, we don’t just lose an object. We erase value and add to a cycle that chokes landfills, oceans, and budgets. Waste, then, is rarely about the item itself. It is about our blindness to what it still holds.
