Indledning
Freegans is a group of people who on the night is going out and search around in the trash from supermarkets or drug stores, to find burg usable food.

Freegans are not homeless, most of them have a job and have the money to support them selves. The reason they do this is because they will help to reduce food waste.

The food they find is maybe food at is last expiry date, items there are damaged or scrapes and the owner of the supermarkets or drug stores not found it value to sell.

They will also find bread that has been baked the day before, that having been sold. It's all food that was in the store the day they search the garbage, but they just get it for free.

Based on everything they find, they can find food for an entire day, maybe several days. Sometimes the owners organize the garbage, because they know that the freegans are coming. Some of the Freegans even share their food with the homeless.

Uddrag
There is an experiment called The No Impact Experiment, it is an experiment Colin Beavan has made.

The No Impact Experiment is that you have to try living without power, a car, a TV, without anything new for a year, besides food and you should rather buy your clothes in a second-hand shop.

Overall, it's about trying to minimize your impact on the environment and see if you can become a happier person.

During the experiment, try to have as little garbage as possible, reuse and recycling as much as possible, preferably ride a bike or take the public transport and reduce electricity consumption and water consumption.

Colin Beavan says he has become happier and has a closer relationship with his family, so he has made a guide that helps people who want to try this, step by step, starting small and then building up.

There is also a way that if you not will start by yourself but do not know anyone who wants to start with you, The No Impact Experiment will find people in your area, so you can start with them and talk about the experiment and help each other.
