Buy Nothing Day
Can you last 24 hours without spending any money? How 'bout on the day after Thanksgiving? Organizers of "Buy Nothing Day" claim it's incredibly challenging but absolutely worthwhile: "You'll feel detoxed from shopping and realise how much it uses your time. For 24 hours, you'll get your life back." The idea is to consume less, so others have more. Today, 20% of the world population consumes more than 80% of the earth's resources, causing a disproportionate level of environmental damage and unfair distribution of wealth.
BE THE CHANGE
