my roomates in Boston were freegans. They use to bring home literally hundreds of dollars worth of groceries that stores would just throw out. They were all unused.

my favorite part of this article was

Luna Tic recently converted his car to run on the cooking oil discarded by restaurants; he collects it from vats outside Chinese restaurants. He says he gets 12 miles to the gallon and recently drove from Salem, Ore., to Seattle burning nothing but recovered vegetable oil.

i think that's a neat idea.
i'm not sure i would be willing to do that, though, especially without guidance.

Odd... my best friend uses "freegan" to mean she will eat free range dairy and eggs, but is otherwise vegan.
