Dica do Tipuri, que viu no Tom-B, ...
Shopping is going to save us. Shop for your family. Shop for your country. Shop for your security.
Let's think about that for a second. If each of us must shop at a fevered pitch every day just to keep our economy moving, how secure are we, really?
Consumption is being cast as "fighting the good fight," but for many of us that rings a little hollow. Yes. It's time to grieve, it's time to reflect. But it's certainly *not* time to stifle discussion and reverse progress on what, though it has been bumped from the news agenda, remains the world's biggest long-term problem: the unsustainable consumer binge of Western nations. In fact, now may be the time to take the sustainable consumption debate to a new plane.
Family, friends, freedom: these are things money can't buy. And at heart, that's the point of Buy Nothing Day.
Celebrate with us this November 23rd.
