Bread is very cheap. Despite that, in my country (Poland), many people believe that throwing bread away is wrong. When it gets stale or moldy, they will either eat it anyway, feed animals with it, leave it next to a trashcan so someone else can take it (which never happens, no one wants moldy bread) or burn it. I want to stress that it's just about bread, they don't care about wasting the other kinds of food.
This is not unlike how some treat books. They can't accept that the overwhelming majority of old books are worthless (at least monetarily) and easily replaceable.
- woleium 4y agoBuut, someone must want my copy of 'powercalc for dummies' from 1991?
- WastingMyTime89 4y agoI don’t know. Some of my fondest memory as a child was roaming the old childhood libraries of my mother and uncle while staying with my grand parents. It looked to me like a treasure trove which would never deplete. I don’t buy as many books as I used to nowadays and most of my reading happens on screen but I still feel something special when I hold a book.
