Buy Nothing Day

People have been celebrating ‘Buy Nothing Day’ for over a decade now. It started in Canada and is now an international event in 55 countries. It has always fallen on the day after Thanksgiving in the USA and on the 26th of November in the rest of the world. On this day, people try their best not to buy anything at all for the whole day. The idea is to make people stop and think about what they buy and how their spending habits affect the Earth’s natural environment. Just a little effort can make a big difference. Let’s take a look at what happens on this day around the world…
