Dress up smart and let's sell lots of nothing to people.

Buy Nothing Day is not asking you to buy nothing today, but instead every time you buy something, think about it and the consequences.

As consumers in rich western countries we should question the products we buy and the companies who produce them. The idea is to make people stop and think when they buy how they effect the environment & developing countries. The world seems endless but we are using resources and polluting it more than ever before. Why? In part, it is to provide you with DVD players, new T.V. e.t.c. They use natural resources only to be thrown in a tip. Large companies use factories abroad where workers face constant danger from unsafe conditions.
