NECESSARY
Buy Nothing Day is a Canadian-born day of protest and occurs the Friday following the US Thanksgiving holiday. Internationally it is acknowledged either on that day or on the Saturday following. It has been promoted by Adbusters magazine and I am happy to be observing the sentiment while in France.
My tradition is to make economic resolutions in my spending life. My "Buy Nothing Day" resolutions for this year are:
1. To have a weekly "Buy Nothing Day".
2. To be more analytical with the contents of my closet and donate clothing whenever I want to buy something new.
3. To not buy anything "Made in China" or other countries with questionable labour practices.
I'll let you know how I've managed . . .
and if you are interested, I have attempted to do this before (albeit less so) . . .
