"Raccoon Rescue"
"Last night I was feeding homeless cat colonies (almost all cats have been TNRd) and happened to glance in the dumpster at one spot. Good thing I did! One of the juvenile raccoons had gotten in and couldn’t get out. I had JUST found an aluminum ladder being thrown away on someone’s lawn and was adding it to my next scrap run, so I put it into the dumpster. The poor little thing was so terrified it looked like it had tears in its eyes and started hiding its head like if it couldn’t see me it would be safe. The woman who runs the cat org sent a sweet fella who lives across the street to help so I could continue feeding, and he texted a few minutes later to say it got out. That’s the third animal rescue in just over 24 hours. I’m thankful I can be of service to the innocent."
"Found This One Last Night"
"I found this beauty by the dumpster while walking my pooch last night. Almost 70% of my plants are from the dives. It's kinda sad but i get free plants
She needs some help (has some pests, but I'm treating all my plants rn so might as well try to save her).
I feel so lucky."

What makes me uncomfortable is the fact that so many stores throw out perfectly good food when so many people are hungry/struggling for food.
I used to work at Walmart and, if a box opened up even if the actual food was individually wrapped it was tossed in the trash compactor. Non-perishable foods passed the expiration date? Compactor.
In the States, we have this strange belief that if you donate food that's passed the expiration date that someone could sue you.
It's completely unfounded. No one has ever been sued for donating food passed the expiration date or that made someone sick.
SO much food that could otherwise be donated gets destroyed or ends up in the trash.
I just read (possibly on here) that it is illegal for grocery stores to waste food in France and they have to donate anything they don't sell to charity. Idk if it's true or not, but it's a great idea we should adopt.
I'm glad at least someone is eating it. Instead of throwing it out I used to hide in the freezer and eat as much as I could like a frozen little gremlin
