NYC Freegan Meetup“ Eye opening, to say the least. Go out on a few Trash Tours with these folks and you'll never feel the same walking in to any supermarket in the world. It's truly grotesque to see how much is wasted, every day. On a lighter side, the people I've met and continue meeting are very cool. They're world-changers, and I'm glad to be a part of them. ”

“ I like the idea of having a group like this one. I find it very educational. New Yorkers may want to learn more about survival skills. I am convinced now that students, visitors, unemployed people can get a break in this city by knowing where to go & what to do. I'll go to some other meetups to learn more. ”

“ New participants are often amazed at what we're throwing out here in NYC. Freegan.info also expanded way beyond dumpster diving. We regularly share skills on wild plant foraging, bike repair, sewing and other ways to live outside the ecologically destructive and unjust "buy and toss" system. We also organize forums, book groups and movie nights on ecology and social change. ”
