Free. Coli, Anyone?

I love a bargain -- who doesn't? -- and recycling makes me feel faintly virtuous even though I fully expect the planet to implode in another generation or two regardless of what I do with my gin bottles.

Freegans take it a lot further. To them, thrift is a calling and recycling's a competitive sport.

I admire their commitment, I honestly do. Just remember, kids: It's all fun and games until you get amoebic dysentery. And your doctor doesn't subscribe to the barter system.
