Meet-up at the "Solidary Fridge" Initative


The meet-up was a real blast! A crap load of food was handed out and we cooked some tasty food for everyone to eat as well. I had a real nice time and we made some plans how we could make a big difference in 2018 to minimize the food waste here in Gothenburg, Sweden!

Thursdays Weekly Meet-ups:

Every week on Thursdays we meet up in the middle of the city to share the abundance of food. It's a great way to meet and support each other. We do it at the same time as the decentralized farmers market that I've initiated which adds more value for everyone!

Why do I Dumpster Dive?

Bring awareness on how much food is wasted with our current system!
Save the abundance of food that is wasted and share it with my network!
Minimizing costs enabling me to Power Up 100%!
Great exercise to bike and carry all the food!

I regularly invite friends over to share the abundance of food, been doing it for many years but now I make sure to introduce everyone to the Steem blockchain! :)

Look at all that food, damn! Haha. That is crazy to think about how much food is being wasted daily.

Salmon, cod and herring are my favorite items from today's post hahaha

Hey @kotturinn, yeah it's truly insane how it's done so systematically!! A shame that you live so far away else I'd share the abundance with ya! ;)

You should make this meal where they the bury the fish underground, maybe some day I will eat it if we ever make it to Sweden :D

Hehehe burying the fish underground... sounds advanced! :P

They do it in Iceland, I thought you guys did too haha

Cool mistake! I think Santa did it!

This should help offset the kind mistake ;). Good deserves good.

@reko -suave, thanks for mentioning that more food is wasted during the holidays. That's a nice gem of information which many people probably haven't thought of (including myself), just assuming that the amount of CHARITY food which is given away counterbalances the waste. But then again, how much of the charity food is wasted, right? I mean, waste it waste in the grand scheme of things. Listen, this nice gal @dflo commented on my recent "Steemit Health"post : https://steemit.com/steemit/@transcript-junky/steemit-teleworker-health-series-2-green-tea-for-enhanced-energy-and-concentration that she is interested in starting a "Steemit Health and Wellness" Discord channel. I recommended that she get in touch with you (linking your profile in my comment) so that she might join your Discord channel and pick your brain for some tips on how to start a channel. Look out for that, and feel free to follow up on this at your discretion. Have a nice day...

yeh I'd love to help! Really into health as well :)

Oh wow, what a haul! I can't believe that's how much get's thrown out! Especially unopened food. What could we be doing better to change this!!!
