   Waste, trash, garbage for some living things can be useful for others.   
   Exemple : mushrooms grow on manure.   
   Every animal exhales carbon dioxide as a waste of internal energy   
   production, but it is the only source of carbon atoms for plants.

   Why do you think that no idea is worth saying except if it has been   
   published in an academic paper ? The scientific method consists to first   
   observe and take note, then imagine hypothesis and discuss them, then   
   confront them with observations, then, eventually write and publish   
   them. When you work, you apply the same kind of process, but never   
   publish your production, you make things and sell them.
