town. actions were just one example of ‘skipping’ – looking
for food in skips or bins – which is related to
‘freeganism’. Freeganism is an environmental
movement that began several years ago as a
response to the amount of waste being produced.
Freegans spend the absolute minimum on new
products, but instead try to live by finding and reusing
food, furniture and other things that have been
discarded by individuals and businesses.

C Rather than taking food from bins, perhaps the real

crime is the amount of it that is wasted by
supermarkets. Thousands of tonnes of perishable
food, like fruit and vegetables, and products that have
passed their sell-by dates are thrown away, even
though many are still edible. Some supermarkets are
beginning to donate their unsold produce to food
banks, which feed people living in poverty, but sadly
the number of people needing food banks is
increasing and cooperation from supermarkets is still
in its early stages. However, supermarkets in Britain
have agreed to provide information on the amount of
food they discard, so if this encourages them to
reduce these figures they might do more to support
the poorer members of their communities.
