Buy Nothing Day.
I didn't write the below text, but I am an excited messenger. After all, I'm fighting to reduce trash and save the environment. If we weren't all such rampant consumers, we wouldn't be in half the messes we are in now...
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 26 2004 IS BUY NOTHING DAY
For 24 hours, millions of people around the world do not participate -- in the doomsday economy, the marketing mind-games, and the frantic consumer-binge that's become our culture. We pause. We make a small choice not to shop. We shrink our footprint and gain some calm. Together we say to Exxon, Nike, Coke and the rest: enough is enough. And we help build this movement to rethink our unsustainable course.
In its 13 years, BND has become a flashpoint, a day when people of all stripes come together in symbolic protest.
