I guess most of us here do this already - the problem is that people in general are swayed by advertising, which is why companies spend so much money doing it.

I agree with the above comment, most of the people here already do this. Also, there are loads of creative ways of urging people not to buy - I think it'd be useful if the article had listed them, then people are more likely to be proactive about it.

For example -- flyposting, leafletting in shopping streets / holding leaflet stalls, free food / free stuff stalls, free stuff shops / squats, publicity stunts in shopping centres (such as a die-in - 'consumerism stole my soul' etc!), or "subvertising" adverts (putting your own message over the top - or modifying what is already there), banner drops, constructive and eye catching graffiti... the world is ours, lets take it back! :) x
