| | Serious Editorial: Buy Nothing Day |
 | | Buying nothing for 24 hours can be a tall order, and especially on The Most Wonderful Saturday Of the Year, but this ‘ere superpower could also benefit from a pronounced shift, or at least an honest attempt, to make it known that we’re willing to give the environment, our accountants, and ourselves a break. |  | | It will be like election night, with investors and retailers glued to TV screens to guarantee that we spend more than we did last year. |  | | We would have more than our share of financial analysts giving their opinions as to the reasons that Americans weren’t able to cough up the same credit limit as last year, and not one of them, I imagine, will mention that any spending gap was a result of citizens participating in Buy Nothing Day. |

| | Alex Halavais » Buy Nothing Day tomorrow |
 | | For most people it would be as difficult to spend a day not buying something as it would be to spend a day not watching TV. |  | | The idea is simply to spend a day in which you don’t engage as a consumer. |  | | Knowing that Buy Nothing Day is so totally based on a day that means something only in the US, its attempt at being global seems rather silly. |

| | Buy Nothing Day |
 | | An axiom of modern life is that "expenditures tend to rise to meet the level of one's income." Spending often surpasses income, as our epidemic of credit card debt shows. |  | | Vicki Robin, co-author of "Your Money or Your Life," observes that each dollar we spend is a vote "for what exists in the world." When I buy unbleached toilet paper made from 100% post-consumer fiber, I vote for recycling and less toxic manufacturing. |  | | Similarly, if the Exxon Valdez springs a big leak and it costs over 2 billion dollars to clean up some of it, that also counts as "economic growth." Of course these aren't things we want, and the GPI counts them properly, as minuses. |
