Hey guys!

Today the day started like a usual school day for me because we had to get up at 6 o'clock. After we ate breakfast and got the bus at 7:04 we arrived in school at 7:30. We went to our room where we would stay the whole day and put the chairs in a circle. When all the teachers were there we started with our topics: food waste and dumpster diving.
We brainstormed ideas and wrote down all the things we know about these topics.
Then we had a little break and after the break we went to another room to watch a few little clips about dumpster divers. It was kind of terrible to see what people and especially supermarkets waste... But I think in the USA it was worst; there it was like rubbish bag by rubbish bag. But in these plastic bags was still good food so it was edible. We got to know how many tons of (edible!) food is wasted every year, horrible!
After that we went to another room and made a mindmap about dumpster diving with lots of information from the clips. But we also had to draw a little. That's how the one of my group looked like:

Because all finished earlier we had freetime until we had lunch. Mary wanted to go to Double Coffee with the other polish exchange students and it was fine with me. Finja and I went to the shopping zone to get some things. At 13:30 we had lunch including a little other break in school. Then our workshop went on with a dumpster diving expert. She does dumpster diving and told us about how she started, what it is like and lots of other things. We could ask her all our questions and it was a nice experience. We also presented our mindmaps.
I think dumpster diving is a good thing so I think it's a pity that it's actually forbidden... Why shouldn't people take the "rubbish" from the supermarkets when it will otherwise gets waste?! Would be a good way to reduce food waste and maybe even famine (Hungersnot for all germans ;) )
