Re: International Buy Nothing Day
It's kinda like the no gas buying day. Interesting in theory but totally useless. even if I did not buy gas today (I didnt') I will buy gas tomorrow or monday or whatever. Ditto for shopping, I went to walmart today for a few things but I haven't shopped at walmart or anywhere else in over a week. It would have to be more like no purchases for 1 week or 1 month for it to even be felt. Sure it would be weird to see no one at the store but the next day everyone would be there. I would love to see if there could be a no shopping for 1 month test. THAT would be interesting to watch and observe the results. Of course you need to keep in mind that we are hurting employees jobs too. sorta a catch 22.
