OK this is very counter culture and something that I just ran into. Freegans are people that beleive that over consumption is a problem in the western world. Well, I think most people would consider the overconsumption in North America itself to be one of the largest environmental issues facing the world.
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 even in their webspace do not waste. The Freegan web site is a cheap .info domain and they don’t bother with the www in front of the address.
