Buy Nothing, A Week from Now

It's that time of the year again, to cut back on our consumer spending. Besides the fact that the
Trade Deficit is out of control, who really wants to go shopping a week from now?

"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: enough is enough. And we help build this movement to rethink our unsustainable course."
