I see examples of waste in everyday life in resturants, where people eat too little or too much, in trash plants, where the trash just lies there and is not being used, in homes, where you throw away household items or food you need because you didn't finish your meal.

I see examples of waste when we throw away food that we don't eat or when we throw it down he garbage disposal. Also, when we throw away things that are seemingly useless when we could try and find a way to re-purpose things.

I read a book about this girl who got stuck in a well because some mean girls pushed her in, and nobody could get her out so the town had to get a new well, and t was a waste of money, and it was all the mean girls fault. This is a waste because the town had to get a new well, and all that water was gone.

An example of that in my life is when people leave a room and leave the lights on. That uses more electricity than is needed. Also, since electricity is generated by fossil fuels it causes more pollution.

One should be trained not to be destructive.  When you bury a person, do not waste garments by burying them in the grave.  It is better to give them to the poor than to cast them to worms and moths.  Anyone who buries the dead in an expensive garment violates the negative mitzvah of Bal Tashchit.  (Maimonidies, Mishnah Torah, Mourning 14:24).

In the Midrash Kohelet Rabbah 7:13, we read that when God led Adam and Even in the Garden of Eden, God said: "Look at My works!  See how beautiful they are - how excellent!  For your sake I created them all.  See to it that you do not spoil and destroy My world; for if you do, there will be no one else to repair it."  How does this related to the mitzvah of bal tashbchit?
