Ever wonder where food offerings go after seventh lunar month prayers?
While most of them are thrown away by cleaners in the morning, a group of people have gone around neighbourhoods late at night, salvaging the fruits left behind by devotees.
Daniel Tay, 41, is a freegan in Singapore who recently organised and led a small group of people on fruit hunts in Bishan and Ang Mo Kio.
Freegans reject consumerism and seek to help the environment by reducing waste. One way of doing so is to collect edible food or usable items that have been discarded.
Tay wrote in a Facebook post today (Sept 3) that they collected more than 200 fruits over the past two nights, the majority of them oranges. Other fruits included pineapples, apples, bananas, rambutans, and langsat.
But before you assume that the freegans just grabbed the offerings off the side of footpaths, Tay told 8World that he consulted a Taoist priest before starting on the activity.
