Reducing the amount of waste we produce is a core Jewish environmental value.
Even though over-consumption and waste production are relatively recent

times. The Jewish concept of Bal Tashchit prohibits us from being wasteful or
unnecessarily destructive is based in a text from the Torah which urges us to
consider our relationship to the natural world.
