Freeganism is an anti-consumerism
and anti-capitalist counter-cultural
movement that is focused on waste-
minimization and waste-reclamation.
Freeganism originated with the concept of
being "free" of the pressures
of society; nowadays,
society is often so
focused on material
goods and wealth
as the only definer
of success.
However, it is clear
that life, happiness,
and success are
defined by more
than just an
expensive
car or a big
house.

In order to be "free" from these pressures, freegans use alternative methods of living to limit their participation in the economy and to minimize the amount of resources that they use, prefering instead to reclaim and minimize waste.
