Dumpster diving

The practice of foraging in garbage that has been put out on the street in dumpsters, garbage cans, etc., for discarded items that may still be valuable, useful, or fixable.

Thursdays Weekly Meet-ups:

Had a break during the holidays but on 11th of January the meet-ups will be back! :)

Every week on Thursdays we meet up in the middle of the city to share the abundance of food. It's a great way to meet and support each other. We do it at the same time as the decentralized farmers market that I've initiated which adds more value for everyone!

Why do I Dumpster Dive?

  • Bring awareness on how much food is wasted with our current system!
  • Save the abundance of food that is wasted and share it with my network!
  • Minimizing costs enabling me to Power Up 100%!
  • Great regular exercise and good karma... ;)

I regularly invite friends over to share the abundance of food, been doing it for many years but now I make sure to introduce everyone to the Steem blockchain!

Wow that is a lot of food you found dumpster diving... good job!

ty Lasse...just came home from the local dumpster with shitloads of food...Hard to grasp if you haven't seen it first hand

Thank you for raising the awareness of this food wasting. There are foods being thrown away. If only we can feed more people with that wasted food, there can be more forest land to be preserved and not for agriculture purpose.

Well done @reko. I've been proud of myself for buying mostly all of my food from our local co-op but you are taking it t the next level! I love it.

That's great to hear @tometrich, we vote with our money and supporting the local stores that actually care is of utter importance if we want any positive change regarding our food chain! :)

Hi @reko. You are crushing it man. I live in Las Vegas. My Friend & I were at a Buffett at night. We saw a porter throwing away bread. We asked could they donate it. I mean a second ago we could have picked it and now they are throwing it out. They said they can not donate food. Liability to the hotel. So so crazy. The food was amazing and at the end of the day it is all thrown out. Thank you for your efforts in sharing about Food Waste.

thank you @steemcafe! Been to Vegas a few times, love it! Some times I tray dive, which means eating the food that people have left on restaurants, just watch out sop the people working there don't see ya, they usually have policies against it...

Lovely...am never familiar with some of these foods...thanks for this @reko

Why are they throwing all that out? Still looks like good food. They could at least discount it so they're not just filling the garbage bin.

I try to plan my meals so my leftovers can be used for another meal, either as a complete meal or as components.

That's great @themanwithnoname, people are getting better and better at saving the food but the stres are still horrible and are wasting soooo much, impossible to grasp to what extent if you haven't seen it with your own eyes...but that's all about to change!

the food is not even close to bad it's done systematically for many different (bad) reasons.

Good work you are doing out there, i need to also start up like such but simple projects in my area. I will be getting some money from steemit. I will definitely do that.

yes DO IT! :D

if u do you got my vote :)

Wow amazing food photography.i appreciate to your post..Carry on my friend.and focus your activity in steemit...Best of luck ..
