Consumerism challenged - for just one day

02.12.2002 04:29

On Friday 29th Nov, otherwise known as International Buy Nothing Day, shoppers in Plymouth were exposed to a barage of street theatre and alternative 'commerical radio'. Giant credit cards ran around the shops encouraging consumers to "buy more sparkly things" while their 'owners' complained that their spending was getting out of control...
Also fed up with all of this homogeneous global monoculture, serving up the same bland "frapachapachocawhatevers" the fine chaps at NOT CRICKET decided to host another of their tea & cucumber sandwiches soirees.

Various Indymedias featured BND 2002, including this audio and video from Ireland IMC. Germany, Houston, Italy, Los Angeles, New York City, Portland, Seattle, Twin Cities, Victoria, and Washington D.C..
