Freeganism
We are freegans. Freeganism is a way of life. It's a philosophy of living and giving freely, using less resources and using them well, and not being motivated by profits. It's about sharing, building community and considering what is most sustainable and best for our environment. Freegans are most well known for "bin raiding", "dumpster diving" or "bin diving", which is taking and using food and other useful items from rubbish bins. But freeganism is a lifestyle that encompasses much more.
For more news reports involving ourselves, see the Making it Real media page here.
Specific stories relating to freeganism are "Wife Swap", "The Bin Banquet", "Freeganism London", "Britains Bins
have Rogan Josh" and "Freegans, the Bin Scavengers".
