I'm all about consumerism. Electronics made in China. A newspaper from Britan. Shirts from Turkey and eggs from Aldi (no idea where they come from).

I try to marginally improve the world by bringing at least a small part of my euros to workers in poor or developing countries (even the most capitalistic company creates jobs and incomes). However there are some who restrict their consumption.

• pescatarian a person who does not eat meat, but fish.
• vegetarian a person who does not eat animals.
• vegan a vegetarian who also does not eat or use animal products.
• fruitarian a person who will eat only what falls (or would fall) naturally from a plant.
• locavorian a person who only eats local food.

While I could see myself as a pescatarian, I find it hard to imagine life as a fruitarian. However, today I read about a group called freegans.

• freegan a vegetarian who only eats or uses things from other people’s garbage.

It's some kind of antiglobalisation thing, which -obviously- I don't understand.

I found those freegans on 3 Extreme Ways To Go Green (via digg).
