96 billion pounds (43.6 billion kgs) is the amount of food thrown away each year in the USA. Although eating from the garbage can may seem like an unfortunate restaurant choice for many, the reality is that dumpster diving is a growing phenomenon in the USA where more than 40% of food is wasted.
The hot new film – Dive! Living Off America’s Trash by Jeremy Seifert - explores the hidden culture of dumpster diving in one of the world’s most wasteful nations. Focusing on a tight knit group of dumpster diving friends living off wasted food from Los Angeles supermarkets, Dive asks the question – Why is all this food being thrown out and not given to people who need it?
