Hello everyone,
This is awesome post and the author clearly shows the waste in our culture/system.
However, I do want to alert everyone to a serious fact: this dumpster diving is dangerous to your health and life! Why?
Heroin users and other drug users freely dump their used, contaminated syringes in the garbage.
These uncovered needles can expose you to HIV, Hepatitis,and other blood borne diseases.
Hey @tammywatkins. Always wear gloves when diving mostly not to get dirty! In Sweden we don't have that problem and I actually don't think the risk is very high in many place in the world. There are some stories circulating that I tihnk is made to scare people off from doing it as they want it to happen in the dark and because of the extent it's being done. But always be careful of course. Diving is not for everyone and there are many ways one could help in changing this. Vote with your money! :)
Hello reko! It is a problem in the states, especially in Ohio- and the percentage of drug users keeps going up year after year. Thank you for your reply reko.
