Do you think you could live your life without buying anything? There are people in the world who live in this way. They are called freegans. Freegans live a non-consumerist (非消费主义的) lifestyle—they reuse clothes, household items, and even food that other people just throw away.

Finding food plays a big part in the life of freegans. They look for food in the wild or even eat food that they take from dumpsters (垃圾桶). When you hear the word “dumpster”, you usually think of a smelly (发臭的), dirty place—but in reality, most food that is thrown away is of good quality (质量). Many supermarkets throw away vegetables and fruits simply because they look ugly. Freegans eat this kind of food.

I used to have many misunderstandings about the freegan way of living. I thought they were poor or homeless. But in fact, most freegans have the income to live just like regular consumers. Instead, they choose to live in a way that is more eco-friendly. Many of them also spend their free time volunteering to promote (宣传) a greener lifestyle.

It’s hard for many of us to live a freegan lifestyle because we are used to consumerism. This is why I really admire (敬佩) the freegans’ wish to protect the planet. I am now trying not to spend money on any unnecessary things. It is my first step in helping reduce global waste.
