About The Freakin' Freegan:
Freegans are individuals--often, but not all vegans--who seek to minimize participation in a wasteful, consumer-driven society that so greatly impacts our environment and sense of material values. They reduce their ecological footprint in ways that are sometimes unique and controversial, the most notable the practice of "dumpster diving" to salvage some of the millions of dollars' worth of perfectly good food, furnishings, and other household items trashed by a throwaway economy each year.  In a world where a child dies of hunger every two minutes, such wastefulness is shocking. 
This blog series discusses my household's experiment with freeganism. For more on freeganism, visit freegan.info.

This week was an even smaller haul, but I did spare over a dozen orange and cranberry juice containers from the garbage dump. Their expiration dates were stamped with that same day and the juices were still cold, so  I popped 'em straight into my freezer where they'll be just fine for a while. We pull them out as desired for a beverage or to add to my morning smoothies. Speaking of those smoothies, I just barely finished off the previous trip's bananas...quite a boon!
