Waste=Food

I try to not waste things in my house, but I never really thought about how all of the things that I do through away just end up in a landfill.  I think that the waste=food thought process is a really innovative way of thinking.  Not only is it beneficial for the environment, but I was surprised to find out that people have found a way to make it  a socially and economically viable option as well.  It was really interesting how the green changes in the buildings led to greater productivity and better attitude overall at work.  With results like that, it makes sense that multibillion dollar companies are using these methods in their production plant.  On top of that, they began to develop more environmentally safe products that can be broken down and reused.  They used their pull as a huge consumer to push their raw product vendors to make better materials that can be reused and made into something of equal or greater value.  The movie did a great job of pointing out how recycled products are often used for things of lesser value, like all the paper we recycle doesn't turn into more notebook paper, but instead in turns into toilet paper, which then turns into waste.  My only concern is that creating these green buildings seems to be too expensive for the smaller companies to invest in.  I wonder if many of those companies would find it worth it to undergo that new construction.
