Just thought I’d post a reminder that there is a collective effort to make a stand in the face of “mindless consumerism.” For a number of years Adbusters has been promoting “Buy Nothing Day” as means of raising awareness and providing a first step to consumer-consciousness. In America “Buy nothing day” is the Friday after Thanksgiving, November 26. Here is a link to 101 things to do instead of consuming.
I would encourage an intertextual reading of the Jesus’ “Sermon on the Mount” while reading some of the content on the Adbusters site.
peace, dwight
sermon on the mount & buy nothing
