November 24 is Buy Nothing Day

Time to begin planning for this year's Buy Nothing Day. You know, the annual celebration of sanity held on the same day-after-Thanksgiving when the rest of the country goes on a shopping binge.

The idea is simple: just boycott the madness.

Buy Nothing Day is the creation of Adbusters, a decidedly counter-establishment group of advertising industry folks. Their purpose is to focus attention on American over-consumption. For more information, including a poster you can download and print, check their website, adbusters.org/campaigns/bnd/.
