What is Buy Nothing Day?
Mention Buy Nothing Day to anyone and they want to know about it. This is good, it proves people are interested and want to do something, no matter how little, and you can't get less minimal than Buy Nothing Day.

Buy Nothing Day is a simple idea which challenges our shop 'til you drop culture. It started in Canada 8 years ago and has grown into a global celebration of consumer awareness and simple living.

Buy Nothing Day exposes the environmental consequences of consumerism. The rich western countries - only 20% of the world's population are consuming 80% of the earth's natural resources, causing a disproportionate level of environmental damage.

Buy nothing day is an excuse to break free - We're over consuming, ignoring the warnings and believing too much corporate gloss. Have you ever wondered Where it came from? Who made it?
