- shoveitfatty, on 03/11/2008, -0/+12You can always call your local pizza joint a bit before closing...order a pizza and tell them you're going to pick it up. Then you just don't pick it up, they throw it out and ta-da!...free pizza in the dumpster.
- mordea, on 03/11/2008, -1/+11If anyone is interested, I tossed out a "Pizza Mia" from Pizza Hut. Better get to it before the raccoons do.
- and303, on 03/11/2008, -0/+10Ugh, I hate freegans. If I get another lecture from an art student for eating a fresh meal that I bought with my own hard earned money, I'm going to start dumping strychnine in grocery store dumpsters.
- bthug7, on 03/11/2008, -2/+11"According to unofficial freegan spokesman Adam Weissman, that waste is directly tied to capitalism, which freegans see as an oppressive economic system"
Waste is actually directly tied to anything that lives, biology 101. Calling capitalism oppressive is like calling socialism sensible. I would appreciate the freegan movement if it was presented by sensible spokespeople, official or not. Credibility is lost when your lead by the far left or right. Sorry freegans.
Earships and shrooms are BA though. - displaced1, on 03/11/2008, -3/+10Hippies have taken over the front page. Burn oil to scare them away!
- nahsrocketeer75, on 03/11/2008, -2/+9I'm going to build a house out of mushrooms, then eat it.
- Heavypettingzoo, on 03/11/2008, -0/+7Those people are pretty clever! Eating trash is smart...I mean, why not? Cockroaches and rats rummaging around in the same bins shouldn't deter you...everyone knows they are perfectly clean, disease-free and pleasant to be around! Oh and the smell is lovely too.
...truly green and they'd be working on a farm. - thephuckphase, on 03/11/2008, -0/+6homeless people are the unsung heroes of our ecosystem!
- FarmPunk, on 03/11/2008, -2/+7Extreme is right! Save the dumpster diving for silicon valley startups and finding good hardware.
- inactive, on 03/11/2008, -0/+5Is your name Mario by any chance? I hope they make you feel Super :)

- bthug7, on 03/11/2008, -1/+4Haha I wish that worked for Best Buy's in store pick up.
- saturnx8, on 03/11/2008, -0/+3green is cool and all that but why the hell do they gotta be such dirty hippies? Freegans, F that. I ain't dumpster diving for food, stupid dirty hippies.I see tons of those people in the city and they all look like homeless people.
"Earthship" come on already to many people subscribing to Gene Roddenberry ideals. Some of them are cool but lot so fthem look like well hippie dwellings. - crazywarthog, on 03/11/2008, -1/+4If you think the earth is really in a man made global warming crisis then do the only sane thing ... kill your dog/s !
Pet ownership is irresponsible and dangerous to humanity. According to the Waltham Centre for Pet Nutrition, a moderately active 80-pound dog requires 1,955 calories a day — the energy requirement of a 120-pound woman. A lactating dog of that weight requires between 3,900 and 7,800 calories daily.
Smaller dogs of, say, 20 pounds consume energy disproportionate to their weight compared to large dogs. Translated, that means two miniature poodles consume more than a German shepherd on the small side. So, when calculating one's carbon footprint, dog owners should add an extra individual, or two or three, to their household size.
While it is true that some of the carbon dioxide released into the environment as a result of the metabolism of pet food is renewable, the energetics required to produce this food fare — the factories, the delivery trucks, the metal for the cans — are often nonrenewable or renewable more in principle than in practice. - datastorageguy, on 03/11/2008, -0/+3The environmental movement used to be about preserving wildlife areas. It has now devolved into eating out of dumpsters.
To those who are true environmentalists: Time to take back the environmental movement from the wackos. - Tinendo, on 03/11/2008, -1/+4Eating garbage seem not green to me. Not at all.
- turbovince, on 03/11/2008, -0/+3Dumpster-diving for dinner. Yeah right. Mega-lolz @ freegans.
- Poetheunclothed, on 03/11/2008, -0/+2No thanks

- jameszol, on 03/11/2008, -2/+4Can Earthships communicate with the Mothership?
- kaur, on 03/11/2008, -1/+33 ways of going green
- have no kids.
- go suicide.
- take others with you.
How can building a house, regardless of the method, be considered green? - bincoder, on 03/11/2008, -1/+3Way #4:
Don't breed like rabbits.
Rotten food feeds pork, pork makes bacon.
mmmm... bacon! - swankboy, on 03/12/2008, -0/+2Paint yourself green then everyone will know you're better than me.
- inactive, on 03/12/2008, -0/+2OK, making a home/shelter out of old tires, I can see some logic in that if style and "tire oder" are not issues. Hair and mushroom for oil... I'm a bit unsure about this one, would want to see actual test of it.
But eating food out of the trash... ***** you hippie. Your are stealing from the homeless when you do that. - musicfreak87, on 03/11/2008, -0/+1Wow. Who knew being green could be so mean.
- 4pple5auce, on 03/11/2008, -1/+2I'll make a paper meche house out of all the excess paper in my apartment... only then can I be... GREEN!
- elTito, on 03/11/2008, -0/+1I'm all for conservation and good resource management and all but there is no way in Hell I'm eating someone else's garbage. Those people are ***** disgusting.
- inactive, on 03/11/2008, -0/+1i'm big into schmecycling
- bitcloud, on 03/11/2008, -0/+1I know a few freegans who aren't far left disestablishmentarians...
A few... not many - LingNoi, on 03/11/2008, -0/+1Agreed that's pretty disgusting but I also don't want people around my house looking through my rubbish too.
- LingNoi, on 03/11/2008, -0/+1I think it's suppose to be about the reuse of waste in the building materials, but yeah I agree the waste is going to decompose in the end so it doesn't really matter what you build a house out of waste or not.
Someone else said they cemented coke cans for walls, I find them more wasteful because you could have re-used the aluminum instead of making a wall out of it. - bovilexia, on 03/11/2008, -0/+1freeganism? that's a new one for me. there's a reason i work everyday and it's to put fresh food on the table, have a roof over my head, and clothes on my back. i'm sorry, but there is no way you can convince me that's it's healthy to go dumpster diving for food.
- pearcewg, on 05/04/2008, -0/+1The more I read stories about "Save the Earth", the more I realize that we're focusing on the wrong thing.
There are SOOOO many people, and the number of people is growing. We can do all we want to "Save the Earth", but once there are 20 billion people on the Earth, before we hit the critical mass that leads to mass extinction, we will need to use all available Earth resources just to keep the population going (I know, it needs to be renewable...but how much land do we need to grow corn for 20 billion??? It has to come from somewhere).
Ultimately, if you really want to "Save the Earth", perhaps buy a gun or plan for your own demise. The way to continue our current American and European standard of living and enjoyment is to pray that the rest of the world doesn't become wealthier, because it will only promote using resources and growing the population. - Ndiggnation, on 03/11/2008, -0/+1Wow, didn't think I'd ever hear one of my fourth grade spelling-bee words actually come close to being used in the real world. It was actually Antidisetablshmentarianism, though..
- inactive, on 03/11/2008, -0/+1They forgot, handing government control of every corporations production by insisting that CO2 is the cause of the plants warming and demanding that CO2 and thereby fuel consumption be regulated by politicians.
- Cheeze_Head, on 03/12/2008, -1/+2wouldn't killing yourself be 1 extreme way to go green?
-reduce your carbon footprint
-increase O2 levels
-free yourself from foreign oil - Ndiggnation, on 03/11/2008, -0/+1Well, I suppose the food might actually *be* green at times.
- FuzzyBunny, on 03/11/2008, -0/+1How is dumpster diving for meals green? Anything that you eat is going to be among the most biodegradable things in there, and any packaging that you pull out is just going right back in. It serves no purpose other than you getting a free (and risky) meal.

http://www.paramegsoft.com/ - RandomH3r0, on 03/11/2008, -0/+0I think they mean excessive waste, not just waste.
- RandomH3r0, on 03/11/2008, -0/+0So since your eating food that took packaging and resources to make you should go ahead and buy more products that took more packaging and resources to make? Or take advantage of the abundant amount of food thrown out that is almost as good as new. Also that food is not going to be put into a compost pile to promote quick degrading where those nutrients would be used at fertilizer. They would be thrown in with everything else, biodegradable or not and put in a landfill. A landfill where the conditions wont let anything, even paper degrade. They are reducing their personal waste in a society that creates far to much.
I think that the idea of this is abit much for my stomach but that doesn't mean that it should be dismissed. Good for them. - celotil, on 03/11/2008, -0/+0Extreme green?
There are three basic needs, actual NEEDs that we humans... well, need.
Food, clothing, and shelter.
Food is anything you intake to keep you sustained. Clothing is anything that protects you from the elements while you're outdoors. Shelter is anything indoors.
So, food can't be either-or'ed, but clothing and shelter can so let's get rid of them.
Extreme green is living in the temperate climate you can bare while being, heh, bare, and eating whatever is around that will sustain you.
So let's all go nekkid and eat bananas and pineapple and slow-moving crustaceans in North Queensland, South Florida, etc... :) - patman, on 03/11/2008, -1/+1I'm all about consumerism. Electronics from China. Shirts from Turkey and eggs from Walmart (no idea where they come from).
I try to marginally improve the world by bringing at least a small part of my money to workers in poor or developing countries (even the most capitalistic company creates jobs and incomes). However there are some who restrict there consumption.
* Prescatarian: a person who does not eat meat, but fish.
* Vegetarian: a person who does not eat animals.
* Vegan: a vegetarian who also does not eat or use animal products.
* Fruitarian: a person who will eat only what falls (or would fall) naturally from a plant.
And now:
* Freegan: a vegetarian who only eats or uses things from other people’s garbage.
While I could see myself as a prescatarian, I find it hard to imagine the life of a fruitarian. And freegans....??? That's some antiglobalisation thing I obviously don't grasp.
Anyway, that's to much! - inactive, on 03/11/2008, -1/+1Saving the earth has to be the very first Agenda of all the rich countries and they should do some contribution towards this noble cause.
- RandomH3r0, on 03/11/2008, -2/+2All great ways to think outside the box and makes things a little bit better then you found them. I think we create far to much waste but the foraging for food is abit much. I would rather try to shop locally then to dumpster dive for my next meal.
- foolawrence, on 03/12/2008, -0/+0rat very tasty. this year of rat, good luck to eat lotsa rat
