1.	to consume, spend, or employ uselessly or without adequate return; use to no avail or profit; squander: to waste money; to waste words.

2.	to fail or neglect to use: to waste an opportunity.

This is how www.dictionary.com defines waste, and I think it's a sound definition. We waste a lot of things. We waste time, money, and opportunities (all mentioned by the dictionary). But we also waste energy, gas, food, water, resources . . . and our lives.

As I've begun to participate in the Don't Waste Your Life Café at TheRebelution.com, I've really been challenged to think about what is a wasteful use of time and life, and what is a significant use. I hope you'll pick up this book and join the study!
