Waste

Last night when got home and i turned on the tv i bumped into a report about the waste of food, particularly in New York City. I find it amazing that people right here in the city are going hungry but yet supermarkets, delis and restaurants throw away food. I know that not all establishments do this but still it breaks my heart. More so I feel bad for taking things for granted and letting things rot in my fridge. So now i ask myself what can I do to help? I'm doing research on it now but I found this website by an interesting group of people. The call themselves "freegans". They feed themselves from the discarded food they find in the street so check out the website. They also have some information on soup kitchens and recycling (which I am a huge fan of). Just thought this was interesting.
