reducing consumerism

Buy Nothing Day 

Did you know that Buy Nothing Day was founded by a Canadian artist based in Vancouver back in 1992... it is now an internationally celebrated awareness day, with it's own website: BuyNothingDay.org

It challenges us to evaluate shopping and spending habits, to reduce consumerism, increase the ability to "make-do" and avoid trips to the grocery store, or corner store... So, no sudden dashes for ice cream treats or to buy gas.

Some participants will go the extra mile and avoid driving, turning on unnecessary lights, cutting up plastic cards, using a computer or TV or phone... just for the day. It is actually quite the challenge!

This awareness day helps us consider what we are doing every day and offers advice on the best ways to save money from cooking at home and making repairs to cutting coupons. 






It is a good time to remind everyone of our award-winning waste, water, energy -wise book series: Trash Talk - helping you save money, reduce waste, help your community and make a real difference for the planet... with easy, simple tasks and daily actions.
