A flatful of rubbish
Andew Weston-Webb is sitting in his tiny one-room flat with other people's rubbish all around him. He is wearing someone else's clothes and someone else's shoes. He hardly ever buys new things. Instead he goes out at night and looks thorugh skips left by bulders at the side of the road. He found most of things in a skip somewhere in the city: his bookshelves, his armchair, the lamps and lampshades, the books, the old records, the paintings and the coat hooks on his walls. He even has a set of playing cards that he made from used phone cards.
There is a philosophy behind his lifestyle. Andre cares for the environment by using other people's waste. When he does not want things any more, he sells them to other people at street markets. "I tell them the whole story and pass on my message. People love it"
Andrew is going down to the fruit and vegetable market later today to get some left-over food, and tonight he is going on another night-time search. His life was not always like this. He used to be an executive with British Telecom and he lived in a large house in the suburbs. But that is all in the past. "Who wants a mortgage on your home and a pension for your old age? I feel much happier living here. Life's an adventure this way."
