UNDERSTANDING WASTE EVALUATING CONSUMERISM

“Waste is never fully reclaimable. It always re-quires additional effort or waste of some kind to be re-purposed.” -Derek Linford

“Most resources are wasted- they are not used to their greatest possible poettential.”

-Judy Brunson

“Time is the greatest source of waste in the average person’s life.” -Patrick Asay

THE ENLIGHTENED ACTIVIST heightened sense of awareness proactively recycling minimalism lifestyle consistent actively involved forward thinking innovative

what kinds of products could an enlightened activist use to further reduce waste?

How can you squeeze every last drop of effeciency out of a product before it is discarded?

Does using a product in multiple ways increase or decrease its value and life expectancy?

How can you take a product that is discarded when its primary function is useless and give it additional value?
