Freegans, Farmers, and Family

The past week I have been extremely busy with my academics. Finally it is spring break, a very exciting time for my Green lifestyle. On this coming Tuesday I will stop officially living my green lifestyle in terms of my ISP. Before the day comes I still have a lot of work to do.

Tonight I am going dumpster diving with the Freegans and a couple of my friends. I hope that this experience will help me be able to visualize the amount of waste we generate. I am really excited to explore this new lifestyle and to meet others who believe in freegan philosophy.

I am still shocked by the kindness and generosity I have received from the farmers at the Union Square greenmarket. These individuals truly care about the products they have created and are strong advocates for the slow food movement. The three most caring people I have met in this market include the woman who grows hydroponic tomatoes on Long Island, and two honey harvesters.

I will post some details from tonight later.
In the meantime, have a fantastic spring break!
