International Buy Nothing Day

Today is International Buy Nothing Day.

Make a statement about the glutinous nature of our consumption of the worlds resources. We are heading into a period of traditional excess where spoilt children of all ages are showered with expensive gifts that they do not need whilst much of the world is starving.

We cannot fix the problem of world starvation but we can choose moderate our annual christmas excesses out of respect for the rest of the worlds plight.

Make a choice to abstain, for 24 hours, from exgaging in the consumer society.

I dedicate all the money I spent today on Christmas stuff to you! Just for you! If I'd read this earlier today, I would have spent more than I could afford just to make a statement of my own.

Blow.
