News and events

August 26, 2011 - CouchSurfing is now a for-profit company. Because many dumpster divers are also into hospitality exchange and probably not so happy with this change of direction, we recommend to sign up at BeWelcome instead - the only non-profit organization for online hospitality exchange.
August 8, 2011 - Floating City in Copenhagen is a project based on a freecycle concept - basically everything in Floating City comes from a waste. The general idea is to build an independent living area (mostly on water) from the things others throw away. Project welcomes new people from all over the world to join them in Denmark! See website | facebook.
August 1, 2011 - Waste Land (2010) is a social documentary based around the lives of garbage pickers in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil as a man by the name of Vik Muniz creates art out of recycled material. Watch trailer here! (alternative link: watch on Megavideo)
