Meet Alf, he used to manipulate people using fear and greed to make them buy products they didn't need.

Now with his friend Bob and many others, he follows one of the paths of Freeganism, shopping from the backs of stores, without money, dumpster diving to utilize some of the many ton's of waste food and other products consumers and suppliers throw away each year.

As we remember the words of the economist and philosopher John Stuart Mill when he said.. "f you want to distroy a system, refuse to buy it's products", Alf agrees it's a dangerous message.

Here as promised is the first Freegan installment in the shape of a very short video introduction to Freeganism and what Alf as a Freegan believes in.

Different people follow freeganistic principles for different reasons but I am sure you will agree that Alf's ideals make more than a little sense.

Hopefully soon I shall edit the audio podcast that goes into much more detail and post it to Documentally.com

Please leave a comment if you wish and don't forget that there will be an audio interview (with much better sound) coming soon...

(note: I know there is an annoying high pitched sound in the background.. I think my camera is up it... I will sort it for next time.)
