Review of Dumpster DivingHave you ever heard of dumpster diving? Or freeganism? In this humorous piece Rebecca Barker interviews Connor Huntington about the art of turning trash into treasure. Connor is a freegan, he lives by the motto; buy less make more and dive for the rest. This mixture of a commentary and interview is abrupt and jumps around, but that doesn?t ruin the overall experience of exploring the other side of your trash. |

Review of Dumpster Diving
Wow! I loved this piece; I didn't find myself at all drifting from this piece. I think the subject matter is what kept my attention and what kept me guessing. You discussed a topic that is really prevalent in American culture, which is our wastefulness. I can understand why other nations look down on us and when someone throws 90% of perfectly good food away. I admit I have friends and family who dumpster diver for construction material and I can't believe some of the high quality stuff people throw away mostly good lumber and sheet rack, but on occasion some good tools can be found. Maybe after people listen to this piece they will reconsider what they throw out, good luck on future projects.
