As an environmental scientist, I specialize in the study of natural and human-made environments, including the management of waste. When it comes to the question of whether waste is "poop," it's important to clarify the terms.

Waste can refer to a variety of substances that are discarded or no longer needed. This includes household waste, industrial waste, and agricultural waste, among others. "Poop," on the other hand, is a colloquial term for feces, which is a type of waste produced by animals, including humans, as a byproduct of digestion.

In the context of environmental science, waste is a broader term that encompasses poop and much more. For instance, waste can include materials like plastic, paper, glass, and electronic components, which are not considered feces. However, feces can be a type of waste, particularly when it comes from humans or livestock and is part of the waste stream that needs to be managed properly to avoid health and environmental hazards.

So, while poop is a subset of waste, not all waste is poop.
