Freeganism

Freeganism is a lifestyle movement focused on reducing waste and minimizing environmental impact by reusing, reclaiming, and sharing resources. Freegans often source food and goods from dumpster dives, surplus donations, or by exchanging items instead of buying new, to oppose consumerism and reduce landfill waste. They aim to challenge wastefulness in the economy and promote sustainability, often emphasizing ethical considerations over monetary value. While not everyone practices freeganism strictly, it encourages mindful consumption, resourcefulness, and a more sustainable, less materialistic approach to living.
