Freegans

"Freegans" hunt through trash at a market along Third Avenue in New York, March 18, 2009. Freegans are a group of anti-capitalists who boycott bought goods in their attempt to reduce their consumption of resources. They are most widely known for dumpster diving for salvageable food. In the wake of the economic recession, however, more people are open to the freegan lifestyle as a way to cut costs, freegans say. REUTERS/Eric Thayer
