There are a lot of elements of it. For one, we do all of our cooking outdoors over rocket stoves that burn discarded fence panels for fuel. We get these from a friend who has a fencing company - instead of having to actually pay money to drop them off at the landfill, he donates them to us and we alchemize them into free meals! For two, we salvage all kinds of material in perfectly good condition, like pallets & tires, and repurpose them in our sustainable building projects. For three, we get "trash" cardboard to throw down in our garden, and we cover it with mulch to break down and enrich the soil. Those are just a few things, but it really quickly adds up!
