Freegans 프리건
[Power Dialog]
Katie, are you up for a little adventure tonight? My friends and I are doing a little "freegan" grocery shopping.
I don't think I like the sound of that. Nothing's open. Are you planning to break in?
No! We're not going in the stores, we're going behind the stores to take the food they throw away. That's the free part of the word "freegan."
You mean dumpster diving? Why would you want to eat rotten food?
That's the point! It's not all rotten. Grocery stores throw away $31 billion worth of perfectly good food in Canada each year.
It's terrible that so much food goes to waste, but I wouldn't be caught dead climbing into a dumpster.
That's okay. You drive the car and we'll do the shopping.
