Sustainability Goals
No Poverty
By protesting against wasteful food and furniture that people produce, we don't really have to worry much about money. We live off of the trash of other people, so therefore we provide a living situation for some in which money doesn't have to matter. We also protest against waste, waste that could be going to better places, so someday these protests will be heard and they will provide food for other people in more impovirished countries. Through this, they won't have to worry about their food as much, therfore the money in their pocket will raise.
Life on Land
As vegans, we don't eat meat, so we preserve a lot of the animals that will be at risk of extinction any minute now. We also recycle furniture and don't take part of that section of consumerism, which means we don't pay for another tree to get cut down for our couch to be built. Because of this, we also work towards the life on land sustainability goal.

Zero Hunger
This one is pretty obvious, but by eating other's waste, we provide an eating option for others that can't afford to go to the supermarket. Although most freegans do have the ability to be financially stable, we do get a lot of homeless to join the movement and they end up with a full stomach by the end of the day.
CLIMATE ACTION
Since we don't take part in food wastage or cutting down trees, we save a lot of food from being put into the city dump left there to rot, and we also provide the world with more trees so that climate change doesn't happen as quickly as it is.
