Freeganism is a truly fascinating way of approaching life, that involves reusing leftover food (dumpster diving), living� in unused spaces (squatting) and avoiding jobs or owning vehicles whenever possible.� Like Burning Man participants or others who create and visit Temporary Autonomous Zones, Freegans try to operate outside of normal societal boundaries.

Sounds like an interesting lifestyle … I’d never heard anything about it, but I guess freegan is a combination of ‘free’ and ‘vegan.’ Pretty fascinating.

def interesting way to live, somewhat crazy as well… i am a vegan and i would never go as far to dig into a dumpster (there may be meat or dairy on top of that lettuce) or avoid work…. respectable but way too extreme for me

That’s a very good point, given that they take their name in part from veganism. The issues of cleanliness and health would seem to (potentially) contradict or come into conflict with other freeganist goals.
