Even after reading these articles I am still not convinced of dumpster diving. I think it’s just unsanitary. Especially, the food part is yucky. Maybe if the dumpster was kind of clean than I probably would think differently. My thinking comes from the way the garbage smells during the summer. The odor sometimes makes me vomit, but the good thing about the smell is that it makes me come back to reality LOL. Dumpsters make me think of poop.
Dumpster diving makes me think of all the germs and insects beyond my imagination that hide there. I think that we are exposed to enough doses of germs and such. When people throw out perfectly fine furniture maybe because they had bed bugs. This year on TV they had many programs about an epidemic of bed bugs and that they can hide practically everywhere even in the cracks of your floor. So that is why I am so skeptical about taking furniture from a stranger.
My concern about garbage is that sometimes people should really think about what they are about to throw out. For example of the furniture is perfectly fine maybe we should try to redecorate it, put our artistic side into use. If that doesn’t work we should ask our friends and see if they need something that we are about to throw out.

Another point about garbage that I have to make is that food stores or restaurants dump a lot of perfectly fine food. But when a homeless person comes along and asks if they have any left overs he or she is kicked out from the store or the restaurant (so sad and true) =(.
Supermarkets and restaurants should give back to the community’s homeless and that also should be an act of kindness and not because they have to.

But going back to the dumpster diving people should be really careful because GERMS are everywhere especially in those places, but for the daredevils here is a website that I think might be helpful: http://www.wikihow.com/Dumpster-Dive

Thanks for the WikiHow steps to dumpster diving. :-)
I hate too smelling the ordor especially in the summer time. Where do you think the ordor from? Probably, those come from the restaurant. If all restaurants in the NYC consider the envirnment, human beings can live in the better places. Besides, I think this is what the earth wants!!
True, I hate the smell of the garbage during the summer. Yes I heard something about don't take old furniture home because of bed bugs. We need to look for smooth surface furniture like plastic to avoid beg bugs. Especially the restaurant where they throw away perfectly good food at the end the day. They should give to the homeless instead.
I think everyone can agree on the fact that garbage smell isn't so cool. I would not pick up food from the garbage bc that is just nasty. I actually never thought about the bugs in good furniture that is thrown out. Good point but it's like how do we know if they do have them or not. We would then would just have to stop picking good furniture and start buying, huh? Good post
