first dumpster dive this month

i gave up around page 4 when it gets angered

anyway, good luck; it's easy for me to be cynical. to think that the world can't change. that's the kind of thinking that traps us, to think we can't make a difference. it's the kind of thinking that has created an overpowered government, and a pliable, controllable base of consumers.

it never ceases to amaze me how we can bicker about whether someone else is doing the best possible thing or not, when we do nothing. trying to help other people, that's admirable no matter what.

a little love goes a long ways. it spreads, but unfortunately so does hate. we define our world.

whitestalkslongwalks Reviewed by whitestalkslongwalks on 04-14-2007. first dumpster dive this month I consider myself a Freegan, among other things. Freeganism is basically economic veganism, its a method of challenging capitalism by the efforts to consume and buy as little as possible. Its the idea of reuse, reduce and recycle to the extreme in order to improve the social, economic, animal and environmental state of the world. and this involves, among many many things, living off the 'waste' or byproducts of the system. which involves dumpster diving or urban foraging in order to obtain Rating: 5

i dont jump in garbage cans to look for shit

[surreys princess]

well well.....

though i think it is great you are who you are biz, i find it a bit nasty if i may say to label others who dont think and do what you do..several times, you have said people who dont do this, are sitting idly by, and i believe you referred to us as useless as well....

i do not go into dumpsters, nor would i ever..but i do recycle..i do not waste...i do not take bags from the grocery store..i do donate to charities...i do my share...i do shop at second hand stores..i try to not support many of the big corporations and try my best to support mom and pop stores..so to say we sit idly by is almost rude...and i almost found it offensive...

you are just as guilty as the people who do support capitalism and such when you label others who arent as "good" as you, and demean them...i am sorry...

you go ahead and keep doing what you are doing....it is fabulous..but try to stop judging others who dont share your same beliefs, and if you cant, at least use some tact about it...

oh no! its back!

and i apologize for offending anyone, I'm steadfast in by beliefs but i never called anyone useless for not dumpster diving, i admitted that you don't have to do it. but i am really disappointed by folks that sit around and complain but do nothing about it, there are so many opportunities for action... can we please lay this thread to rest? i am really really tired of arguing. once again, if I offended you, I'm sorry. and if you are offended, please get up and do something

I think it's interesting, but not enough to read 7 pages :wtf: lol
It's cool that you "fight" for something you believe if you're a Freegan. Actually doing something active to make efforts of change.
On the whole imo it will never work, purely because the large majority of the population are not broad enough minded to see why it would do good and wouldn't consider being vegan.
Personally I wouldn't, although I think it's admirable to be a hardcore Freegan.

Sweet! How did you get into the dumpsters at big stores like Best Buy? They are all locked in the town I live in.

Go around the rich neighborhoods early in the morning on garbage day. I used to work on the garbage route back when I was in my 20,s and the stuff they'd throw out was insane! Brand new shit with the price tags still on.........crazy!!

Nice way to bump up the porn collection too.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:
