Follow a group of dumpster divers on a musical journey through the back alleys of Montreal. Between song and dance routines about waste and the joys of reusing other people's garbage, five young adults discuss the philosophy of living off society's excess. Going through other people's garbage provides these young Montrealers with food, furniture, clothing and luxury items they could never afford if they had to buy them. For more info
I'll be living in St Laurent in the fall for college, and this is something I would absolutely love to be a part of. Great job, divers! It's great to see this put out into the world, keep it up! (Whoo musicals!)
I am really impressed by your posting. It is very much authentic and useful information. keep up the good work. we need more good statements. i have bookmarked your site for future reference. I really appreciate your way of presenting such a excellent suggestion. I want more in to it, Thanks
thank-you for creating this. It's so easy to get sucked into the consumerism mindset and it's important that people coninue to work to provide media that portrays truth outside of the capitalist advertising system. Plus it's a musical, does it get any better than this?
Very nicely done. Well executed and actually pretty touching. Im an amatuer videographer and kinda want to find the nearest dumpster rental company so I can follow them around and have people go through what people are tossing. Inspiring. -LaMarcus
Thanks for sharing this information. I found it very informative as I have been researching a lot lately on practical matters such as you talk about...
Excellently written article, if only all bloggers offered the same content as you, the internet would be a much better place. Please keep it up! Cheers.
Thanks for the film:) I'm not a dumpster person but I do compost,respect all living creatures and try not to be wastefull. But I probably could do better and you have given me food for thought.
I found this video while searching for "dumpster diving" and thought someone here might be slightly interested in this endeavor.
Please read this call, forward to anyone you know would be interested and post on any relevant lists. E-mail me, if you would like to contribute, and I'll add you to the list so that we can coordinate our first meeting and mission.
Dumpster Delights Cookbook: One Man's Trash is Another Man's Dinner
Call for Entries!
I am compiling recipes concocted with dumpster-dived ingredients. Of course, not all the ingredients have to be dived from the dumpster, but at least two to three major ingredients should be. The recipe can be traditional, or better yet, it can be an avant-garde, culinarily-sacrilege, albeit a palatable taste-bud extravaganza.
You can be an amateur or professional dumpster diver. In fact, you might not have even done it before. For that reason, I am planning a dumpster tour in the San Francisco and Berkeley areas. We will dive deep and explore the nocturnal nutrients that lie in wait for our hungry little bellies!
We all have appetites and there are different ways to fulfill them. We can have someone else prepare our food for a pretty penny, go to the grocery store and find exactly what we think we need and end up with a lot more, and/or you can sustain yourself or simply add to your sustenance by grazing on discarded wealth. You'd be amazed at how much decent food gets tossed continuously. Why let it go to waste, when you can eat it? And better yet, you can turn it into a culinary creation.
Cooking in general, whether with dumpster-dives or not should always be playful and open to experiment. Dumpster diving adds new elements to eating and cooking. It allows one to forgo specific demands and pre-determined tastes and let chance play a part in desire fulfillment. When you go to the grocery store, you fulfill specific demands and often are lured into others. When you dumpster dive, you end up with ingredients that you might never had thought to buy. These new ingredients prompt you to discover ways to use them and to whip-up edible dishes rather than waste.
In addition to getting to have fun in the kitchen, dumpster diving opens the doors to nocturnal novelty. When was the last time you went lurking back behind a dark alley or had to climb a fence stealthily? Ok, you might have to skip out on a few hours of sleep, or boozing it up at the bar, but it saves you a hectic trip to the grocery store and even leaves a few more buckaroos in your pocket.
If I have to convince you, dumpster diving probably isn't for you. Though, I can assure you, this collaboration will be delicious!
Requirements: 2 to 3 ingredients from the dumpster
Recipe should be written in traditional form: Title, Ingredients and list explicit Directions.
I would like for you to include some artwork to accompany the recipes. For example, my friend did some crazy potato character drawings for his Potato Frita recipe. Artwork should be fun and some how related to the recipe. I'd also like to collect pictures from dumpster dives and include some photographs from our missions.
Format will be 5"x8.5
Each Person/ Entry will receive two pages
We will discuss other formatting issues, after we get to a point that we have enough entries.
i love you guys. you bring joy to my heart. after a sinful weekend in nyc i feel like i must repent to the dumpster. word. not only was it politically on point, the aesthetics were wonderful. resssssssspect!
