Having lived for several months without money myself, and as a continuing 'freegan', I am well aware of the incredible attitude of so many companies such as Tesco when it comes to food. I believe it's completely unacceptable for food to be intentionally turned into landfill, considering the incredible process it went through to get on the shelves, and when people are dying due to lack of it all over the world.
I'm not aware of any campaigns that have been started in response to this particular arrest, but as far as I'm aware this is the first case in the UK of a dumpster diver (although she wasn't even doing that) being taken to court. I believe now is the time to take it public, raise awareness and speak up! If Tesco wants to bring charges, they need to be exposed for the real criminals they are!
I would love to hear of any further info anyone has on this case. I personally will be emailing newspapers, as I'm not sure what else I can do, not being in Essex and not knowing more details. If you're freegan, this could be you next! This could be a landmark court case.
Happy Skipping
Less Waste, More Taste!
