freegan

[Victor Steinbok]

Not quite as imaginative as "locavore", but here's "freegan".

> The word freegan is compounded from “free” and “vegan”. Vegans are

> animals in an effort to avoid harming animals. Freegans take this a
> step further by recognizing that in a complex, industrial,
> mass-production economy driven by profit, abuses of humans, animals,
> and the earth abound at all levels of production (from acquisition to
> raw materials to production to transportation) and in just about every
> product we buy. Sweatshop labor, rainforest destruction, global
> warming, displacement of indigenous communities, air and water
> pollution, eradication of wildlife on farmland as “pests”, the violent
> overthrow of popularly elected governments to maintain puppet
> dictators compliant to big business interests, open-pit strip mining,
> oil drilling in environmentally sensitive areas, union busting, child
> slavery, and payoffs to repressive regimes are just some of the many
> impacts of the seemingly innocuous consumer products we consume every day.

Not sure if it's going to stick around and it's certainly not WOTY
