Last year's event was considered (by some) to be the biggest spontaneous outburst of anti-consumer sentiment the world had ever seen. Find out what this is all about by visiting a corner of the web space created by the Adbusters. Note that it all started right here in B.C. (Vancouver, to be exact). Buy Nothing Day: http://www.adbusters.org/Pop/buynothingday.html Or take a look at what some kids in Ottawa did last year as part of the event that allows you to "participate by not participating!" St. Elizabeth's School unsung consumer heroes and heroines: http://www3.sympatico.ca/st.elizabeth2/buy0/buy0toc.htm "Buying Nothing" is the kind of topic that can generate some very interesting debate.
