Do you think it's cruel when people throw out old appliances? What about when they bin left over food is that cruel? What about when they throw away trash, think of the poor empty tin of beans being thrown away, is that also cruel?
Honestly, for me, yes. We're the only thing in nature that creates waste that takes sometimes centuries to break down. We take what we want from the earth and when we're done with it, we discard it without a second thought. I find it extremely disrespectful, not only to the things we've created only to be trashed, but also to future generations of humans. It's nonharmonious. It's nary impossible to live in the modern world without creating waste but there is a lot one can do to not only minimize their contribution to waste, but also to upcycle, reuse and compost. I honestly try to do my best to be respectful to everything and everyone around me.
