I'm trying to do my bit for the environment by reducing food that's thrown away – so I'm becoming a freegan.
My brother was so annoyed when he saw loads of food dumped in a bin
at the back of the supermarket that he decided to collect it and give it
to the homeless – I suppose you could call him a freegan.
Thrown away food isn't rubbish, it's free food! That's why I'm a freegan.
