from a "throw-away society" to a "givingback" society

In our rich consumption-society, we are 'consuming' too much than we ever need it. Clothes, shoes, magazines, food,... even (wo) men, if we believe the US-citizens to consider some accepted LEGAL space for adultery in a given marriage... The world is full of throwing-away everything, not only materialistic, but also moralistic values.
Have you ever been thinking of to give back what we have consumed to others?
There is an interesting article about ANTS on the site of GEOlution
We can learn much about the behaviour of ants to practise on human consumption-behaviour.

As for humans, also ants are building an environment where is 'good to live in/on'. They build infrastructures to keep the community mobile (from a 'village' hole to another) and for searching food. With the typical working dedication - it's their nature - they want to create a secure environment for the whole community. Once they have it created, they will stay there until all sources of surviving are exploited. Then they will leave this place and move to another, more interesting
accommodation(s).

End of the story, you think?
If we are practising that on human grounds, people will try to keep their environment alive with people. We don't throw away what we have made, but we want to renew our place... In certain cases it is honourable, although more and more natural spaces will disappear.

The ants are clever enough to not wasting their time and effort:
In time, the visible ants-trash will be rotten and composted. So new fauna and flora will grow on the spoiled ground from the former insect-habitants. The ants have created in fact a new circle of life! They have - in other words - give it back to mother Nature! The perfect art of survival, folks!
People can find themselves in the word of 'ECOLOGICAL RECYCLING', creating things on natural-eliminating bases and can be re-used in another form to be consumed.
To be continued...
