Where will you be November 27th, the day after Thanksgiving, or as it’s known in the U.S., Black Friday? Waiting outside of a big box store for the perfect gift for yourself or others? Worried about adding to your credit card debt over the holidays, but feeling compelled to shop anyway? You know, you could be relaxing in your jammies at home, celebrating Buy Nothing Day.
Buy Nothing Day is an international day of protest against over-consumerism, founded in 1992 by Canadian artist Ted Dave, and since promoted by AdBusters magazine
You can find additional resources on the anti-consumerist movement at Albertsons Library:
