Raphael Fellmer is a German freegan and activist, who lives without money and makes use of surplus of the consumer society. He is also a founder of website ''Foodsharing'', where people can exchange things they no longer need instead of throwing them away. He lives in Berlin with his wife and two children. == Biography == Fellmer studied university in The Hague. In 2010, a journey from the Netherlands to Mexico became a turning point in his life. A backpack for the journey was the last thing he has bought. He and his friends crossed the Atlantic for free, as they "payed" for it by taking care of the boat on which they travelled. They hitchhiked in Mexico, worked for food and accommodation. When he came back to Berlin, he was first looking for food in the garbage. Later he started to get food that was approaching or past best-before date and that the shops were not able to sell. He then founded the website ''Foodsharing'' to support the exchange of things people has no use for. Fellmer himself lives with no money,〔 his wife uses the equivalent of around $280 per month (2013) from savings and a government child subsidy when she needs to pay for health care or food for their children. ''"Originally I wanted to become a millionaire to be able to help people,"'' says Fellmer. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Raphael Fellmer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
