Description: Freegan Info is a zine resource about people who embrace an anti-capitalist, low-consumption and low-waste lifestyle. The word was "coined largely to satirize the attitude among many vegans who seem unconcerned about the social and ecological impacts of what they buy, so long as it's vegan." This resource booklet focuses mainly on NYC programs, but gives information about recycling, dumpster diving, composting, squatting, anti-capitalist practices, and other ideas for incorporating freegan principles into your regular lifestyle (e.g. how to make a DIY reusable menstrual pad). The zine contains clip art, illustrations, and handwritten sections. More information about freeganism can be found at http://freegan.info.
