Freegans and free fruit

I'm a little slow on getting this posted, but the NYT has an interesting article on freegans (dumpster-diving vegans). Not sure it's practical for a lot of things, but it's interesting to read about nonetheless.

The article also lists a good site for getting (or getting rid of) stuff:
freecycle.org


In my area there's free astronaut ice cream, a Piggly Wiggly stress reliever, a metal liquid nitrogen tank hose, and an unused time capsule wedding journal book, whatever that is.

And, because it's summer, here's a link for maps of places where you can legally pick fruit that overhangs public property. Ok, so there aren't too many maps yet, but it's still a fun idea.
