Detroit City a monument to corporatism! Just like Johannesburg only dirtier! Dumpster diving required where? in America! Capitalism and corporatisms homeland!(not commie China!) No Way! You’re putting me on! Folks building houses from garbage to escape from commies? no… corporatism again! maybe? You got no job! You die without medical care! corporatism, not communism! Some folks are so propagandized to knee-jerk reactions it is hard to believe! Sweden exists in happy socialist democracy, so does Canada! They all get a lot of things, including welfare, free food, no need to dumpster dive! Somewhere between hard ass, uncompromising bloody American vulture capitalism, and flat out communism are many shades of pale! The Chinese communists survive, and supersede Americans in schools, science, arts, engineering, languages,manufacturing, heavy industry, and other fields like economics, and actually own America, lock, stock, and barrel right now! They turned down Timmy Geithner and Obama and did not lend Trillions of our dollars back to us just recently! How very arrogant of such an inferior system! Dammit Folks! What we got in America is not all goddamned roses! Grow up and realize that improvements are possible, and we don’t always have it right every damned time! We just want to believe that, for comfort’s sake! and remember, thanks to our vibrant vulture capitalism, and corporatism, GM (America) went broke! The same year, GM (China) showed a 30 % profit! Using our technologies, our capital, our patents! and costing us our jobs! Here’s hoping you will be comfortable in your new Shanghai Buick, while I move to Hooverville and live in a tent, Yankee Doodle Dandy!

Okay… the dumpster? I thought this was a green article not a homeless handbook. WTF.

So go check out purelycotton.com – it is the only TREE FREE toilet paper. It’s 100% cotton – made from cotton linters – which is a by-product of the cotton harvest – so it’s recycled cotton. Good for the environment being a renewable crop and sustainable.

Peace out.

Katie. The oil bladder would not work. Oil degrades rubber with time.

Great post! i love the fact that you put dumpster diving in there. i must say i have eaten my fair share of stuff out of a dumpster, you got to love nice rolls and bread for free when you dont have any food at all. but most importantly i want to thank food not bombs for feeding me when i was homeless and stuck in houston. best noddles i have ever had!!!!

i will pass on dumpster diving for food. for one i have a job for a reason. one of those reasons is to put fresh food on the table. second there’s no way it can be healthy.

Mushrooms and oil spills? I’m a bit skeptical. Can we get a citation for that? Especially given that the mushrooms must have been picked from whatever compost they were living in (and would therefore not be exhibiting much vim and vigor).

A lot of stores in the college town where I live have special sections of their dumpsters for food that is still good and package the food up really nicely–they’re freegan friendly and not gross.

Don’t knock it till you try it!

I knew some people in Florida a few years ago, who were building a house out of recyclable goods, similar to the Earthship. The walls were made of soda cans arranged in a brick pattern and then cemented over. Windows were made out of bottle glass and pallets. It was an interesting idea and supposedly hurricane-proof…so they said.

I’m all for recycling, but I’m sorry, eating food out of a dumpster is just gross to me.
