It’s Freegan February meaning you only eat food that was going to waste for a whole month. Henry McKean met up with the people behind the movement. The idea was by  Ide Mhic Gabhann from Dublin 6 to raise awareness about how much food is wasted. The basic rule is you buy nothing, you only find it. You eat your three meals a day from only food that was being thrown out or given away.

Henry met Food Waste Hero Caitlin Weich who eats a lot of food waste on a regular basis, this time she is taking it to new extremes.
