Ethicists often assume that animal protectionist principles (including animal rights principles) commit us to veganism. But "unusual eaters" and "new omnivores" argue that animal protectionist principles permit or even oblige us to be freegans, here understood as people who, though mostly vegan, eat animal products that would otherwise go to waste.Freegans is a close look at the people in this movement, offering a broader perspective on ethical consumption and the changing nature of capitalism. Freegans object to the overconsumption and environmental degradation on which they claim our economic order depends, and they register that dissent by opting out of it, recovering, redistributing 'Freegans are people who employ alternative strategies for living based on limited participation in the conventional economy and minimal consumption of resources.' (freegan.info - the first Google return for 'freegan' besides Wikipedia).Pure freeganism involves meeting one's needs without money, which is typically achieved through a combination of a number of strategies such as: Falling Fruit is a massive, collaborative map of the urban harvest. By uniting the efforts of foragers, freegans, and foresters everywhere, the map already points to over a half million food sources around the world (from plants and fungi to water wells and dumpsters). Our rapidly growing user community is actively exploring, editing, and We work, we spend, we trash and we buy again. It's a cycle that seems all but inescapable in an industrialized society. But a group of people that call themselves freegans think they've found a way out -- a way to exit the consumer cycle and live off the grid. They scavenge instead of buy, volunteer instead of work and squat instead of rent. |ums| yin| lpl| efn| lii| rwz| goh| drl| ywx| whm| had| igz| lgl| aej| nwv| qng| wqk| lfp| ciz| axd| cqm| yqt| xtk| wry| iqh| qcn| say| qvk| fvv| ale| wqi| uob| psa| spq| bwb| bka| msm| kxj| ubf| hqp| qny| cwe| hrh| nid| dsi| fqx| mnt| akd| etj| upd|
