Even the flowers are saved from the local trashcan...

Been giving away a lot of food lately so our stocks were running low but fortunately after a few days without any luck I found quite a lot of good stuff. Always a nice feeling after some unsuccessful dives. I met two lovely girls that came to the spot before me but they were real nice and shared the abundance of food with me...

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.

Introducing Trashwiki, the collaborative world wide guide of creating value from trash! Here you will find plenty of trash-related articles: you can search by specific countries and cities to find the best places in your area!

Why do I Dumpster Dive?

| Bring awareness on how much food is wasted with our current system |
| No costs enabling me to minimize my dependency on Fiat |
| Save the abundance of food that is wasted and share it |
| No need to power down my Steem Power |
| Great regular exercise and good karma |

Thursdays Weekly Meet-ups:

We meet up on Thursdays in the middle of the city to share the food we've saved during the week. It's a great way to meet, connect and support each other. We meet between 6-7 pm at the same time as the decentralized farmers market that I've initiated!

I also invite people over to share the abundance which is a great way to share the abundance of the treasures as well as taking the opportunity to introduce them to the Steem blockchain!

Introducing Sara to the Steem blockchain...

I've got great plans for 2018 and beyond and intend to work hard to achieve it. The Steem blockchain is the perfect place to create positive change as it rewards individuals that contribute to the community and humanity at large. I am wholeheartedly dedicated to this platform and my intention is to create solutions to our current predicament and unite humankind once and for all...

Thanks for this great post. The tables full of treasures you have found are truly amazing. It is a shame how much food is wasted and it's great that you are spreading awareness. Thanks for sharing your message. Your title is really true. We wouldn't waste food we had put the time and effort into growing. Food for thought.

This is awesome. It is not good to waste food, and if you have enough and you think it gonna spoil. It is better to give it away. Thanks for sharing, I really wish everyone can do the same
