Buy Nothing Day Coming Soon

Posted on Tuesday, October 26 at 20:39 by sthompson
On November 26th, we refuse to participate. We flip our routines and discover new angles. We get active in our communities. And some of us go out and create some mayhem.

Here's a good place to get started: http://adbusters.org/

See what other people around the world are doing this year. Discover a new way to meet other activists in your city. Visit the Action Pyramid and help make this BND the blast that's heard around the world.

FROM THE FRONT
--------------------------

BLACKSPOT SNEAKER
Put a blackspot on a Niketown near you. From Omaha to Osaka, let's get out there -- with stickers, spray cans and marker pens -- and spread the virus that will change capitalism. Send pics of your jams to sharon@adbusters.org and we'll post them on our site.

CAMPUS JAM
Our neoclassical economics model has failed us. Too bad most universities still preach its dying gospel. Let's act before out-of-touch profs dupe another generation. Go to http://truecosteconomics.org and print off copies of the True Cost Economics Manifesto and pin them up all over the corridors of your economic department. Help incite a revolution in the way we measure progress. http://truecosteconomics.org

PROZAC SPOTLIGHT
No one lives outside the mental environment. Share your stories -- about meds, madness, madpride, and that three-pound universe we call the mind -- at the new Prozac Spotlight Forum.

    Technological and biological developments coupled with pollution control measures have reduced our impact on the environment dramatically in just the past twenty-five years, a strong free economy has the extra cash to fund research into better ways of living.

    Mass unemployment wouldn't save the environment, it would have the opposite affect. Buy whatever you want because life is getting better for everyone all the time.

    You are a funny propagandist, Anonymouse. Ignore all the evidence and just write drivel. What a novel approach you have. Reminds me of corporate and national governments everywhere.

    "...life is getting better for everyone all the time" -Anonymous

    Yeah, I'm sure they'll agree with that in Iraq right now. Or heck, anywhere in Africa. I hear AIDS sucks. I bet it's REALLY helping them out down there. And in Latin America as well.

    Ahhh, heck... not even WORTH writing a full response to that BS.

    Yes, life is getting better, if you mean by that we live longer. But increasingly we can expect the last decade to be filled with some chronic illness or other that confines us. So what's the point?

    Anonymouse check it out! Over at NewsMax.com they've got 3 'Conservative' books for a dollar each! What a steal! Maybe you will be able to dig up some more nonspecific garbage!

    On November 26, I plan to buy MORE than I would have on a regular day. Why? Just to piss you leftist anti-consumption goons off!

    Ways to save our environment:

    --Use renewable sources of energy like wind, tidal, and solar power.
    --Implement a compost garbage facility where garbage is converted into compost, whatever can be turned into compost.
    --Come up with a way to recycle or elimate completely with little pollution things that cannot be recycled currently like hard plastics and styrofoam.
    --Use cleaner alternatives of fuel like corn oil and hydrogen. Hydrogen could cause an increase in precipitation in the world!
    --Develop ways to convert desert into fertile land so people living in desert countries can start farming and growing crops easier.

    That is my list so far. Any suggestions to add on would be great!
