什么是“免費(fèi)素食主義”？

免費(fèi)素食主義指的是回收利用被當(dāng)做廢物丟棄的食品和物品的行為。免費(fèi)素食主義者們盡自己的努力，以一種生活方式的形式進(jìn)行環(huán)境抗議活動(dòng)。他們的目的是限制對(duì)環(huán)境的影響，將對(duì)傳統(tǒng)經(jīng)濟(jì)的依賴最小化。

Freeganism is a practice and ideology of limited participation in the conventional economy and minimal consumption of resources, particularly through recovering wasted goods like food.

免費(fèi)素食主義是指有限參與傳統(tǒng)經(jīng)濟(jì)，盡力減少資源消耗的行為和理念，通過重復(fù)利用食品等廢舊物品來踐行。

The word "freegan" is a coinage derived from "free" and "vegan". While vegans might avoid buying animal products as an act of protest against animal exploitation, freegans—at least in theory—avoid buying anything as an act of protest against the food system in general.

免費(fèi)素食主義者(freegan)一詞由free(免費(fèi))和vegan(嚴(yán)格的素食主義者)兩個(gè)詞組合而成。嚴(yán)格的素食主義者不購買動(dòng)物產(chǎn)品，以反對(duì)對(duì)動(dòng)物的殺害。而免費(fèi)素食主義者不購買所有物品，以保護(hù)整個(gè)食物體系，至少在理論上是這樣。

Studies usually find that most people that participate in practices associated with freeganism, like dumpster diving for food, do so for economic reasons.

研究經(jīng)常發(fā)現(xiàn)，大多數(shù)參與免費(fèi)素食主義的人，比如參與垃圾搜尋，經(jīng)常是出于經(jīng)濟(jì)原因而這樣做。
