I'm back from my trip with my old friend Daniel which I helped out with his tent business Nordic Stretch Tents . More photos from the trip coming up soon. I went out for a dive immediately after getting home as it's been a few days since last and therefore I was expecting a lot of food. Sure I was right and as usually found plenty of treasures. Seems like it's getting more popular to dumpster dive here now as I met other people more and more often. Once again a successful food rescue mission accomplished!

Dumpster diving

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!

    Wow...this is incredible! Why do these stores just throw it away? I’m sure there are plenty of food banks that could use this food to feed the hungry. Thanks for your continuous effort to reduce food waste!

                    The sun is finally back and it's slowly getting warmer...so have to be quicker when saving the food as it spoils faster now...

                                    Hello , it’s great to meet you! If I lived in a big town or city I would totally do what you do too. It’s wonderful. I only wish the quality of food on supermarket shelves was better all round, but you can clearly pick and choose the best so congratulations, I salute your common sense nature and well done for helping others too, that really tweaks my buttons ☺️👌

                                          I recently was working for a grocery store in the backroom, and none of the employees were allowed to take home any of the perfectly good food that was being tossed in the compactor. It was considered theft to take anything destined for the trash.
