Freeganism

There is tons and tons and tons of food waste tossed to our NYC curbs on a daily basis. What did you think happened to all those bagels at closing time?

While so-called 'Dumpster Diving' is often considered shameful by larger society, let's not get it twisted– the real shame is all that food going to waste. The Freeganism movement maps and capitalizes on this waste and redistributes this food to our community!
