As Buy Nothing Day (28th Nov US, 29th Nov the rest) rolls around again its message will no doubt polarise opinion more than ever in these times of impending economic crisis.
Should we not be doing our part by being Good Consumers? Fuelling the growth of economies - this is a good thing, isn't it? Or is it time to re-evaluate what really is valuable in our lives? Embracing steady-state economics, breaking out of the work-to-shop, shop-to-work cycle? If we saw this coming in 1972, is it too late to take action now?
