Happy Buy Nothing Day 2008! According to the BND website:It's a simple idea, which challenges consumer culture by asking us to switch off from shopping for a day. Its a global stand off from consumerism - celebrated as a holiday by some and street party for others! Anyone can take part provided they spend a day without spending!
As we enter the headlong rush towards Christmas, it sometimes seems like every celebration is an excuse for a huge orgy of consumption these days. So I really love the idea of a celebration specifically and solely about non-consumption. I will be observing BND 2008 by working on my home-made Christmas presents and spending time at home with my family. We might paint some Warhammer fantasy miniatures together. We might play some multi-player Wii games. If the weather is nice we might head to the park. I'll probably send some Buy Nothing Day e-cards (they're free, natch).
What are you going to do for Buy Nothing Day 2008?

Not only am I spending no money, I plan to spend most of the day writing, which I really enjoy, so that's a bonus
well i forgot what day it was so before 10am i bought some carrots off a farmer, but...after that i spent nothing and baked a spiced pumpkin cake which tastes better than i expected.Oh and started on a scrap book all about my new allotment.
