I meant to blog about this. Buy Nothing Day is an initiative by Adbusters to educate people about consumerism. To quote their page:
"For 24 hours, millions of people around the world did not participate -- in the doomsday economy,
the marketing mind-games, and the frantic consumer-binge that's become our culture. We paused. We made a small choice not to shop. We shrank our footprint and gained some calm. Together we said to Exxon, Nike, Coke and the rest: enough is enough. And we helped build this movement to rethink our unsustainable course."
So next time you want to buy that meaningless trinket for the sake of it, or support a corporation responsible for human rights abuses, think about it, I mean really think about it.
