What attracts you to the concept of zero waste?

I hate waste. Not too strong a word. I hate paying for non-durable goods, especially things I am going to dispose of like packaging, junk mail, etc. I hate using more water or energy than I really require to do a job. I hate single using something when I could use it multiple times (including energy and water).

What is your organization doing to eliminate waste?

Recycling in all areas, addressing the creation and storage of paper documents, moving toward electronic purchase orders, invoices, check payments, pay stubs etc.
