Buy Nothing Day 2008!!!

with one comment

Well, November 28th has finally rolled around, which means my favorite international holiday can officially begin (in North America, at least, for you Brits and Aussies, etc., will just have to wait until tomorrow).  That’s right, kiddies!  Today is ‘Buy Nothing Day’ (insert cheers and applause)!!!  Your one chance every year to refuse the perpetuation of crass consumerism, and to promote more ecological and sustainable economics.

Come on, dude!  Everybody’s NOT doing it!  Even the right Rev. Billy is playing his part with his Union Square Dance Your Debt Away party up in New York City!  So get yer little bum out there and start NOT buying things!!!
