Hey guys! Tonight, Nov. 16 at 9:00pm we're going to have a meeting on dumpster diving!

This meeting will be on freeganism and the open source movement, which are all about moving beyond capitalism. From Freegan.info: "Freegans practice strategies for everyday living based on sharing resources, minimizing the detrimental impact of our consumption, and reducing and recovering waste and independence from the profit-driven economy." I'm going to focus on dumpster diving as a really fun (and not gross!) way to get free stuff and be more sustainable.

Anybody is welcome!
