Great Britain in Bristol opened a café that served food, derived from ... the supermarket bins and containers.
"Skipchen named Café founders aim is to show how much emissions are still fit for human consumption.
As published by the local press, "Stokes Croft Street Cafe operates a non-profit making body whose purpose is to draw people's attention to food in the country. And its founders openly says that most of the foods that are used here were taken from the bins and there is absolutely fit for use.
The first such cafe nine months ago was opened in Leeds and became very popular, so the idea was the same opening and Bristol. Two of the six directors who led Leeds café, came to Bristol, and together with like-minded volunteers opened a cafe here. Local "Crofter's Rights Bar allowed them to use their kitchen and cafe was opened on Monday.
One of the leaders of the Bristol cafes, Sam Joseph, who himself lives in the last three years of the food found in the supermarket bins.
"Our ultimate goal is to" go out ": If you reach a point where the food will not be wasted, then we no longer have such cafes, - he said. - We circle the ring supermarkets before closing them and collect all the food that they emit. But now we are negotiating with a number of shopping centers, and it is possible that future cooperation. "
Bristol cafeteria menu is short and depends on the time available foods. "We are all here to work on a voluntary basis, and our idea is to redistribute the food to people who need it most. We are a community-owned company, which all work on a voluntary basis. I think that there is nothing wrong to take food that has been thrown out, and give it to those who can not afford to buy. I think it is immoral and unethical to make profits. We just want this project to make a political statement, "- said Mr Joseph.
During the day visit the Bristol café has about 100 people and it works as long as all the food is not consumed.
