Reuse & Repurpose

It's very tempting to throw things away or even drop them in a recycling bin when we are done with them. Is there a better way?

Share your ideas for extending the “lives” of the items that we buy and use, and their packaging as well!

Get chickens

Reuse and repurpose. Get chickens, give all your leftover food to them, let them eat your grass instead of mowing it, keep them away from your tomatoes, it reuses your leftover food and gives you eggs which you don't have to buy anymore

I absolutely agree that chickens are good because they give us food like fiber in the form of eggs, meat, and feathers.

I agree with this, but chickens do poop a lot, and the smell is terrible. Where would you throw all the trash away?

well you do have a point, chickens are super useful for multiple circumstances

I agree that chickens are a very useful way to get rid of your food waste. My family, which is five people, has twenty chickens and a dog and we almost never throw out leftover food. We only throw out about one bag of trash a week, while before we got chickens we had probably around twice as much due to our food waste. Chickens are very useful in this way and also because they provide eggs, around one egg a day per chicken, which means our family has never had to buy eggs from the store (which reduces any packaging thrown away and the fuel needed to transport the eggs to the store!).

I have a very similar experience with my chickens. They take all our wasted food and put it into their eggs. What we do since we have the land is take their waste and put it into a compost pile.

I agree with the chicken idea, and to the guy who said what about the poop, use it as composting. You get three things out of chickens, fresh eggs, a place to put your leftover scrap, and poop for composting.
