So much of what we waste is out of convenience or a desire to only have the latest and coolest. At least the freegans/dumpster divers/moochers are helping to cut down on waste and unnecessary use of raw materials by reusing perfectly good working products. It seems like consumerism has gone beyond the need to have and is now an addiction to getting, to actually purchasing.
Although I must say, food from dumpsters is pushing it.

I wonder whether they do good and wise and eco-friendly things with the money they save or if they are saving up to buy hummers and leaf blowers.
