‘Freegans’ find feasts in others’ garbage
They refuse to pay for food, but in New York City, “freegans” never go hungry
“Freegans” – people who, in an ideological rejection of consumer waste, only eat food that’s been discarded _ say you’d be amazed by what you can find in the trash. As others are spending money on holiday treats this season, this group continues to dig through dumpsters.
“We find more food than we could ever possiblly eat,” said Adam Weissman. Befor a recent dinner party , he found a hefty stash outside a gourmet supermarket in Manhattan: bags of salad nearing the sell-by date, dozens of sandwiches, boxes of crachers, squash and loaves of baguettes.
Weissman said that with few exceptions, he has not eaten storebought food, either at home or in a restaurant, in more than 10 years.

我没有什么环境环保知识,对“资源”、“能源”这些概念涉及的东西,也就想到电、水、食物、纸张。就这些,就我看到的,说美国这里的人消耗得最多,我基本相信。消耗的意思是,使用,滥用,浪费。
