Buy Nothing movement

The Buy Nothing movement is a grassroots initiative that encourages individuals to refrain from purchasing new items and instead share, borrow, or exchange goods and services within their community. Founded in 2013, it promotes sustainability, community building, and reducing consumerism by creating networks where people can offer items they no longer need and request things they want. This fosters environmental awareness and reduces waste while strengthening social ties. Overall, the movement seeks to shift the focus from material consumption to community support and resource sharing.
