Be a Consumer Hero!
More
than a million people will celebrate 11 years of opposition on
the unofficial "opening day" of the Christmas shopping
frenzy. Play this one right and we will make Buy Nothing Day
2002 a global event. Previous participants
have come up with the traditions: swap meets, teach-ins, concerts,
street theatre, credit-card cut-ups, postering, potlucks. . . . from Ad Busters
It's a day where you challenge yourself, your family and friends to switch off from shopping and tune into life. Celebrated as a holiday by some, a street party by others - anyone can take part provided they spend a day without spending!
On
the last Friday of November, thousands of people around the world
celebrate International Buy Nothing Day by buying absolutely
nothing for 24 hours. Learn about this day and help yourself
and the environment too!
