This outing is a chance to rescue good food that has been discarded and talk with others about freeganism, dumpster-diving and about living in these interesting times. Bring a couple of bags. No experience necessary. Please consider walking, biking, taking public transit or ridesharing. [b]Throw-away culture has created the Great Pacific Garbage Patch[/b] Capt.
