It’s Freegan February meaning you only eat food that was going to waste for a whole month. Henry McKean met up with the people behind the movement. The idea was by  Ide Mhic Gabhann from Dublin 6 to raise awareness about how much food is wasted. The basic rule is you buy nothing, you only find it. You eat your three meals a day from only food that was being thrown out or given away. We are also using an app (Olio) which helps people transfer free food to each other from their kitchen which would otherwise be thrown away. Henry met Food Waste Hero Caitlin Weich who eats a lot of food waste on a regular basis, this time she is taking it to new extremes.
