26
and 27 November: Buy Nothing
Day to be celebrated in the UK and USA
|
"Buy Nothing
Day exposes the environmental and ethical consequences of consumerism.
The developed countries - only 20% of the world population are consuming
over 80% of the earth's natural resources, causing a disproportionate
level of environmental damage and unfair distribution of wealth.
As consumers we need to question the products we buy and challenge
the companies who produce them. What are the true risks to the environment
and developing countries? The argument is broad and deep - while
it continues we should be looking for simple solutions - Buy Nothing
Day is a good place to start." |
