Hi (from north wales/chester)

[amyle]

I'm a part time student doing web design. Is there anyone in North Wales near Wrexham and Chester interested in wild food foraging, dumpster diving, alternative energy, buliding and lifestyles, environmental issues e.t.c.?

I forage food from the wild, mainly to make preserves e.g. sauces, flavoured alcohol, jam and non-alcoholic drinks but also soups mainly from tasty nettles. I also grow some veg and fruit which I do organically. My other hobbies are snowboarding (dry ski slope), cycling, walking and photography. My interests also include conservation and environmental issues.

I'm interested in dumpster diving, the amount of food that is ok to eat that goes into landfill is such a waste. However I'm not sure about it legally as someone was almost prosecuted for 'stealing' plastic chairs out of a skip! but I'm considering giving it a go. Also I may find a baker e.t.c to go into just before closing to ask if they have anything. Is there anyone locally who dumpster dives and would like to teach a newbie?

I'm also interested in learning more about alternative lifestyles, alternative energy and building methods.
