Dumpster diving

It was quite a challenge to get everything home on my old bike but after some balancing act I made it! Asked some random dude to take a picture of me on the bike but it seems he never sent them to me unfortunately. Atleast I saved a lot of really sweet things! Some amazing chocolate, juices, fruits and vegetables and a huge bag of spices that expires in 2021!

Thursdays Weekly Meet-ups:

Had a break during the holidays but on 11th of January the meet-ups will be back! :)

Every week on Thursdays we meet up in the middle of the city to share the abundance of food. It's a great way to meet and support each other. We do it at the same time as the decentralized farmers market that I've initiated which adds more value for everyone!

Why do I Dumpster Dive?

  • Bring awareness on how much food is wasted with our current system!
  • Save the abundance of food that is wasted and share it with my network!
  • Minimizing costs enabling me to Power Up 100%!
  • Great regular exercise and good karma... ;)

I regularly invite friends over to share the abundance of food, been doing it for many years but now I make sure to introduce everyone to the Steem blockchain!

Upvoted this for sure! I miss dumpster diving... I should get out there again.

Great post, I love that you're taking dumpster diving to an extrem!!! And the behind the scene photos are awesome too.

Great thing you're doing... Following you for sure now!

It's crazy how much food is wasted. A couple days ago i saw them pulling about 100 pounds of chicken off the shelf beacause the sell by date was next day. They most likely threw it out instead of giving to some place that could have used it

@reko Thanks for this noble task you're doing, all over the world the rate of food wastage is growing rapidly and nothing much from both governments, NGOs and individual to help the scourge.

Seriously? - That's an insane amount of food.. Where did you get all of that?

Wow, you're doing a great job. Keep it up @reko

Cool works and massive respect @reko.

Keep it rolling...

Great post freind continued
