Freegan is a person who chooses to eat food that is not bought from a shop, especially food that other

people, shops, or organizations throw away, so that food is not wasted

freeganism is a way of life that leads people to share and help each other, for example they share houses to
save money and in addition to looking for food in dumpsters they grow it in municipal gardens

freegans believe that breeding is cruel to animals.

Freegans are appalled by the amount of waste the economy produces. To avoid contributing to it, they
choose to reuse objects as much as possible

According Freegan.Info, you can find "pretty much anything you can buy in a store" by looking for it in the
trash. For example clothes, food, books, videos and DVDs, timber, toys and tools - all in perfect condition.

detriments

for many people, digging into other people's trash looks dirty, disgusting and dangerous.

Even those who think it is acceptable to collect clothes or furniture from garbage often draw food due to
fear of food poisoning.

I think that if everyone lived like freegans, no one would produce goods of any kind. There would be no
food waste - but there would be no food either. Therefore, the lifestyle of freegans actually depends on the
waste of the capitalist system that claims to refuse.

speaking for myself, I know I wouldn't want to live like freegans. I certainly agree with the objectives of
reducing waste and protecting the environment, but I do not want to go to such extremes.

But even if I didn't want to live as a freegan, I still think our society can learn a lot from freeganism.
