Interesting take on Freganism -- or, living "outside of the money system". 
Quite an entertaining programme! But it's a pity that it concentrates mostly 
on "dumpster diving" rather than the low impact/permaculture approach.

You can listen to the programme online until next Monday am. at:

Culture Shock

Updated weekly at 08:32 GMT on Monday


Tim Marlow presents a new programme which looks at new trends, new things that 
make the world go around, new ideas that drive human behaviour and the 
reasons behind them.

This week we’ll be finding out about the emerging trend that is freeganism. 
Freegans are people who believe in wasteful societies you can live well 
without the need to buy anything. Also if you do like shopping we discover 
that in the future a trip to the shops will be as much about selling as 
buying due to a new trend in drop-in online auction shops. And you’ve heard 
of Karaoke, well now there’s Talkaoke, a new mobile chat show that offers you 
the chance to save the art of conversation.

"We are not for names, nor men, nor titles of Government,
nor are we for this party nor against the other but we are
for justice and mercy and truth and peace and true freedom,
that these may be exalted in our nation, and that goodness,
righteousness, meekness, temperance, peace and unity with
God, and with one another, that these things may abound."
(Edward Burroughs, 1659 - from 'Quaker Faith and Practice')
