Buy Nothing Day

Buy Nothing Day is a global event held on the day after American Thanksgiving, encouraging people to pause from consumerism and reflect on our consumption habits. It promotes resisting the urge to shop as a way to highlight environmental issues, promote sustainability, and foster community connections. Instead of buying goods, participants might spend the day engaging in activities that don't involve spending money. The goal is to raise awareness about the impact of overconsumption on the planet and society, encouraging more mindful and responsible consumption patterns beyond this single day.
