Buy Nothing Day

I know, it's BLACK FRIDAY! Why would this day be chosen to challenge people to buy nothing? Buy Nothing Day was founded in Vancouver, Canada by artist Ted Dave in1992 and is a protest against the consumerism.



According to daysoftheyear.com, Adbusters, the company responsible for the initial promotion of Ted Dave’s idea for Buy Nothing Day, states that the day “isn’t just about changing your habits for one day” but “about starting a lasting lifestyle commitment to consuming less and producing less waste.”



Whether you decide to celebrate Buy Nothing Day or Black Friday is up to you. Either way, we hope you just stay safe and responsible with your finances while you're at it!



We learned about Buy Nothing Day from www.daysoftheyear.com, visit their site for more information.
