Dear Vegan friends
i would like to get in touch with any UK people who live according to the rules of freeganism - I 'd love to know more about the movement and meet likeminded people.
For those of you who don't know who a freegan is - Freegans are people who employ alternative strategies for living based on limited participation in the conventional economy and minimal consumption of resources. It's an environmental friendly and anti-capitalism movement and their most recognisable feature seem to be dumpster diving (which is how they provide themselves with food for consumption)
Please, please,please get in touch if you are practising freeganism.
Denise

Is this just a general interest enquiry or are you thinking of joining in?

actually, I am a journalist and would love to speak to freegans about a possible documentary - where I'll be joining in. I am a sort of a freegan already - I always end up picking bits, furniture mainly, from skips...
I am in touch with 3 great charachters already, just trying to find more. Are you one or do you know any?

don't understand why you say that first and second rules of freeganism are not to talk about it.......shouldn't you be speading the word about the lifestyle?
I am in touch with freegans that travel the UK to preach about it.
I am very confused about your comment!

Erm, I think he was joking ;D Its a take on a line from the film 'Fight Club'.
Actually, one of the flaws of freeganism is that dumpster diving is technically illegal. I don't know if there have been any prosecutions of freegans but I'm pretty sure tabloid inspired private investigators have been nicked for theft for taking documents from celebs' bins. So I suspect that a lot of freegans would take a little care as to how much they shout about their lifestyle from the rooftops.
