"Freegans are people who employ alternative strategies for living based on limited participation in the conventional economy and minimal consumption of resources. Freegans embrace community, generosity, social concern, freedom, cooperation, and sharing in opposition to a society based on materialism, moral apathy, competition, conformity, and greed."

Freegans regularly sift through garbage cans and dumpsters to find anything they should need, from reading material to clothes and furniture, and even food.

Anyways....Being a freegan was a featured story on some morning show I was watching today...and I am wondering what people think about living such an extreme, difficult, and fringe lifestyle.
