Dumpster diving
“WE ARE MAD”...
tells the story of a group of young people living in Copenhagen, sourcing the majority of their food supplies from the trash bins of two nearby supermarkets. From organic to conventionally grown fruits and vegetables, cheese, coffee, olive oil, meats of all kind all the way to bottled water and screen wash for your cars - you can find it all!https://www.wisdomofood.com

Dumpster Diving - Behind the Scenes.
Was a cold and snowy night here in Gothenburg...
Lizzy is my loyal partner when diving, always ready to go! :)
Mission accomplished... ;)
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...
- Minimizing costs enabling me to be less dependant on Fiat and can Power Up 100%...
- Great regular exercise and good karma... ;)
Thursdays Weekly Meet-ups:
Join my Discord Chat & May the Steem be with you!
omg you guys are my heroes!!!
what a testament to the world! I am so glad you're putting this info out there on steemit as i'm sure you'll touch a ton of people and make them think differently about waste streams and searching in their local grocer's dumpster ;) hehe <3

Amazing post man, I used to do a lot of dumpster diving in places like McDonald's in my country, back when I was younger, never found that amount of food though.
Always hated the idea of people throwing away food, makes me sick really.
Edit: Lizzy looks super cute :)

Yeah we have really lost the trust on our senses which is definitely much more accurate way of deciding if the food is good then an arbitrary date...

That is amazing if you really found all that good food in a dumpster.
I used to go to the electronic shops like RadioShack to do that as a kid. It was fun to discover the stuff in there and try to bring it back to life. I think a food place would be kind of nasty sometimes.

I really like what you are doing there. Rich countrys waste so much food its shocking & in other countrys they have hunger.
Id really like to see something like a more limited amount of food in supermarkets where only necessary food like bread, milk, etc. have a high supply & everything else should have a limited supply.
Because seriously who needs 100 different kinds of sausage? I dont see a problem to buy a different one if the one I wanted is sold out.
These days its so rare that something is sold out in a supermarket due to an extremely high and unnecessary supply.
I hope this will change, its super annoying to have way too much food in rich countrys compared to poor countrys which dont have enough.

Insightful post @reko. It's sad how much food is wasted in America, but as awareness increases things will change! Definitely following you to see what other sustainable practices you share. This must be resteemed to help spread the knowledge.

Interesting, but aren't you concerned about things like bugs in the dumpster getting in the food? Bacteria, etc, since it's not refrigerated or completely closed off to them or animals? O.o

This was really random. But I agree that people waste food way too often and a lot of people don't realize it, so in a weird way this was an interesting way of letting people know.

Wow. Imagine if the markets donated ALL of that food to a homeless shelter... Nobody would have to go Hungary. It actually upsets me that this is a problem we are facing in the world.
I am glad you're doing this. I am glad that you'll continue to do this, I have so much respect for you.

What a sad world so much waste when people are starving else where.
On our farm nothing goes to waste all left overs get fed back into the farm
between ours dogs, cats, chickens and pigs there is very little left overs for even the worms.
