Waste

Waste and wastes are unwanted or unusable materials. Waste is any substance which is discarded after primary use, or it is worthless, defective and of no use.

The term is often subjective (because waste to one person is not necessarily waste to another) and sometimes objectively inaccurate (for example, to send scrap metals to a landfill is to inaccurately classify them as waste, because they are recyclable). Examples include municipal solid waste (household trash/refuse), hazardous waste, wastewater (such as sewage, which contains bodily wastes (feces and urine) and surface runoff), radioactive waste, and others.

Waste (play)

Waste is a play by the English author Harley Granville Barker. It exists in two wholly different versions, from 1906 and 1927. The first version was refused a license by the Lord Chamberlain and had to be performed privately by the Stage Society in 1907; the second was finally staged in public at the Westminster Theatre in 1936.

Plot

The plot centres around ambitious independent politician Henry Trebell, his plans for a bill to disestablish the Church of England and his fall from grace and suicide after his affair with married woman Amy O'Connell, who dies after a botched abortion. The title may refer to the waste of his potential talents due to the scandal, the loss of the disestablishment bill and the termination of Amy's pregnancy.

Dramatis personae (1927 version)

Gilbert Wedgecroft, Trebell's doctor

Walter Kent, Trebell's secretary

Amy O'Connell, Trebell's lover

Russell Blackborough, Tory MP and financier

Justin O'Connell, Amy's estranged Irish husband

Lord Charles Cantilupe, Tory MP

by: Bigwig

I see these people everyday. These zombie like lab rats just wasting away. And what I see it's not for me. Your really not living you're barely existing. I'm trying hard to think for myself. And I won't waste away. I'm living for today. Your rules were meant to break. And I won't waste away. Your really not living you're barely existing. And luxury is what you make it. It's what you enjoy and what you take for granted. I can't agree with how we're acting. There's too much going on and there's not enough reaction. But I've been there myself I've been there before. You can't close your eyes its not gonna go away. The world won't stop turning without you. You're rules were meant to break. Your really not living your barely existing. I won't waste away.
