Fiscal/financial frauds - farking-up fellows ? Foraging fleets felt frugal fasting; Freegans fight for feral federation ! Freeganism is an anti-consumerist lifestyle whereby people employ alternative living strategies based on "limited participation in the conventional economy and minimal consumption of resources" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeganism http://freegan.info/ From: Money-Free Date: 5 January 2009 10:44:07 PM " top tips from Fergus the forager, Alf the freegan and Cloud the couch surfer..." a documentary on British TV called 'Living without money' http://www.itv.com/PressCentre/Tonight/Ep1LivingWithoutMoneyPart1Wk0209/default.html We’ve all heard them… the dreaded R words – recession, redundancy, repossession. As 2009 begins, the era of extravagance is over and the question of just how much money we have in our pockets is at the forefront of our minds. Tonight reporter Jonathan Maitland has been luckier then some, still having a well-paid job and lovely home. But dwindling assets has made him reassess how he would cope without costly pleasures and in this programme he takes up one of the most unusual assignments of his life – spending two weeks living ENTIRELY for free. The rules are simple: live two weeks away from home, spend not a single penny, no begging, borrowing or stealing. And bring only a few essential items. The idea is to see what it’s possible to do with no money – and get some tips on how to save in the current financial crisis.

He’s gone from a scruffy, bearded man sleeping in a park and eating off the ground to a clean shaven, coiffed and well-dressed gent staying in house worth more than £1.5m. And all without spending a penny. But have the lessons learned really been enough to make Jonathan a changed man? |
