Freegans prefer scavenging, volunteering and squatting to the more mainstream consumer practices of buying, working and renting a home. But how does this actually work, and why are these people sometimes called 'Dumpster divers?' Tune in to find out.

AI Summary

Get ready to dive deep into the world of Freegans - people who have opted out of traditional consumer culture by eating discarded food, living in abandoned buildings, and surviving largely without money. Josh and Chuck explore how these modern-day foragers navigate everything from dumpster diving etiquette to the legal gray areas of reclaiming society's waste. You'll learn about the surprisingly robust community behind this anti-consumerist lifestyle and discover just how much perfectly good food gets thrown away every day.
