scrapconscience
/ˈskræpˌkɒnʃəns/nounVerified NewThe small moral accounting performed over food scraps and what may or may not be composted.
Cooked rice, citrus peel, the questionable end of an onion — each is weighed against remembered rules of uncertain origin. Scrapconscience operates at the bin's edge and varies by municipality, household, and guilt. Its rulings are final and unrecorded.
Etym. — scrap + conscience — ethics scaled down to peels, where most people actually practice it.
