As the Adbusters website says, "Until we challenge the entrenched values of capitalism – that the economy must always keep growing, that consumer wants must always be satisfied, that immediate gratification is imperative – we’re not going able to fix the gigantic psycho-financial-eco crisis of our times. The journey towards a sane sustainable future begins with a single step. It could all start with a personal challenge, such as this: make a vow to yourself to participate in Buy Nothing Day this year. This November 23rd, go cold turkey on consumption for 24 hours … see what happens "
Almost every day is a buy nothing day here at the hideout. This Friday will be too. Pancho and i will go to the beach for a walk before a late breakfast, followed by a bitta computer time, lunch and an afternoon walk up through the neighborhood, another perfect buy nothing day.
“Today, humanity faces a stark choice: save the planet and ditch capitalism, or save capitalism and ditch the planet.” – Fawzi Ibrahim
