OUR CONSUMER CULTURE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Once, we shopped to buy what we 
needed, period. Now that we don't need much, we shop for other reasons: to 
impress each other, to fill a void, to kill time. A mere 20% of the earth's 
population uses 80% of its natural resources. Our overconsumption is killing 
the planet. 

BUY NOTHING DAY is a simple idea with deep implications. It forces us to 
think about the "shop-till-you-drop" imperative and its effects on the rest 
of the world. When you buy nothing on November 26th, enjoy a break from the 
shopping frenzy. Relish your power as a consumer to change the economic 
environment.
