Freegan....

So upon surfing the world wide web today I cam across the word freegan. From stumbling upon this word it gave me the sudden urge to further look into said term. The urge to search was so great it almost felt like a calling form an being from a greater place. But on the other hand back to freegan and freeganism.

So a freegan is  someone who is an anti capitalist and hates basically wasting anything that could be used. Things that are being wasted are things like older electronics, clothing and food. Those three items are not the only things that are being wasted.

The ways these people try and combat the waste by digging in trash bins from grocery stores and other vendors of a multitude of other goods. The thing that made me think the most was that people are salvaging food from a dumpster. yes folks I did not studer food. Did you know that grocery stores throw out perfetly good food like produce and freshly made breads and all kinds of things that can be used ? Well when I read that in another person's blog it took me aback. I know that our country is wasteful, But really throwing perfectly good fresh food away like it is a dirty tissue to me frankly pissed me off. To me wasting things like that is just stupid. especially since fresh food is so expensive. The freegan lifestyle is a wonderful way to combat the waste.

The most interesting thing about the freegan lifestyle to me is that these people are not afraid to jump right into a dumpster to get their food. I mean what boldness. There are so many YouTube videos one freeganism and the food that they pull out is fresh organic produce that could be used for so many things. All they have to do is wash it. Can you believe that I mean all they have to do is wash it? But there are people sitting in our own country staving because they cannot afford to feed them selves and their families but there is fresh food in a dumpster for free. Ridiculous they need to stop wasting. Just look at all the stuff these ladies got for free. That could last a while.

Well it is getting late and I just need to express my awesome findings in some outlet. Freganism check it out
