What is Buy Nothing Day?

Buy Nothing Day is an annual global celebration against rampant consumerism and consumer culture that happens the day after American Thanksgiving, traditionally the first day of the Christmas shopping season.

 Anyone can participate in Buy Nothing Day by not participating in consumerism for 24 hours. 

Founded by Adbusters Magazine, BND has spread virally around the world in just a few years, with various groups holding events such as Barter Markets and Corporate Jeopardy and others performing anti-consumer jams and protests.

OTL has been proudly jamming the monoculture on Buy Nothing Day since 2002.
