From the Neolithic to the beginning of the twentieth century, coppiced woodlands, pollarded trees, and hedgerows provided people with a sustainable supply of energy, materials, and food.
By energy wasted on food and trash I mean the hydrogen & energy (both generally from fossil fuels) that go into a lot of the fertilizer which is used in industrial agriculture. All of the energy which goes into plastic manufacturing: fossil fuel feedstocks, cellulose and other stuff going into it, to the transport of supplies & the energy use of everything.
Yeah effective composting is a good way of doing that. I have a compost bin.
