Buy nothing day Nov 29 in the US (ditch the Black Friday BS)

Today, humanity faces a stark choice: save the planet and ditch capitalism, or save capitalism and ditch the planet. ~ Fawzi Ibrahim

 Now in its 22st year, Buy Nothing Day is celebrated every November by environmentalists, social activists and concerned citizens in over 65 countries around the world. Over the years, Buy Nothing Day (followed by Buy Nothing Christmas) has exploded into a global movement, inspiring the world’s citizens to live more simply and buy a whole lot less.
