Buy Nothing DayA few years ago, I saw a show on PBS about the rampant spending that has dominated the United States for some time now. The day after Thanksgiving is typically the biggest day of the year for shopping and spending money. Thus, one group started Buy Nothing Day to try combat the commercialism that starts up the Winter holiday season.
Okay, I'll be blunt. Credit cards suck! A decade ago, I got my first credit card and started spending "virtual money". It got out of hand, and I'm still in debt from it. I've gone through a great moral battle regarding whether we should even accept credit cards for our CDs since I hate them so much. Unfortunately, when buying online, there is no other way.
So I am a big supporter of Buy Nothing Day. The media has a lot of power of the minds of the masses. And they use it too. So take the hint. Don't go shopping on November 29th, and let's let the world know that we do not support commercialism. And stay out of the malls and stores. BUY NOTHING!
There's one other thing you can do too to help out this cause. I uploaded to radio ads from the Buy Nothing Day website to our MP3 pages. I want to send those ads skyrocketing up the charts. Help us out by going to our MP3 downloads page. Then listen and download the radio ad from my site and the Brobdingnagian Bards site. And help us make an impact.
P.S. the ad should be downloadable later this afternoon or tomorrow.
