How To End The Food Waste Fiasco | Rob Greenfield | TEDxTeen
“My name is Rob Greenfield, and I am a dumpster diver. Now, at first that might sound a little bit crazy. Maybe even a little bit gross. But there’s actually a very important message at the bottom of these dumpsters. You see I’m an adventurer, an activist, on an mission to effect positive change on Earth, and I tend to go about it in some pretty interesting ways.”
– Rob Greenfield, 2016 TEDxTeen #Untapped Speaker
Rob Greenfield brings a whole new meaning to dumpster diving. He brings purpose and awareness to findings within the dumpster. Cycling across the country taught Rob how to live an environmentally friendly life. Within one hundred and forty days of riding, he had used only 260 gallons of water creating two pounds of trash. While teaching himself how to live this considerably ‘environmentally friendly life,’ he embarked on a personal journey of ultimate water conservation. He did not shower for one thousand days.
