Wellington restaurant turns food waste into pay-what-you-want delicious burgers
(www.nzherald.co.nz)
Being "zero waste" means that we adopt steps towards reducing personal waste and minimizing our environmental impact.
Our community places a major focus on the 5 R's: refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rot. We practice this by reducing consumption, choosing reusable goods, recycling, composting, and helping each other improve.
We also recognize excess CO₂, other GHG emissions, and general resource usage as waste.
That's fair. If I have to take it apart before I can eat it, it's totally outside the burger zeitgeist. I've started asking cafes to describe their burgers to me before I order one.
