A "freegan" is a "person who believes in minimizing waste and individual
impact on the environment." In another words, it's a anti-consumerism
movement and I think they showed its "Dalai Lama"; Dr.
Milton Saier a professor at UC San Diego, is a devout freegan and
dumpster diving expert who, barefoot must I add, gets all his food from
trash.
Before you might say, "No way!" you might be interested to know that he
saves about ten thousand dollars a year from all the stuff he gets from
trash, but money is not Dr. Saier's main objective (he makes over 100
grand a year) helping the environment is.
On that note, he says that the directives of "freeganism" is 1-reduce
consumption, 2 - reuse, and 3- recycle. Which I may add, should be all
part of our lifestyle by now. After all, who has not seen
the 11th
hour? I'm still light years from "freeganism" but I'm very
considered of recycling and consumption. Especially when I learn that we (Americans) throw away enough food to feed 49 million
people.
!49 MILLION PEOPLE! Now it is time for "No way!"
