Buy Nothing day: Chicago Suburbs

Anonymous Comrade writes "CHICAGO SUBURBS BUY NOTHING DAY CELEBRATION!

On the busiest shopping day of the year, citizens of Naperville, IL will join people in over 30 countries around the world to enjoy a holiday from the consumer frenzy.

Now in its eleventh year, Buy Nothing Day is a 24-hour consumer fast and celebration of sustainable living. Over one million people around the world are expected to help BND 2002 break through First World denial about the consequences of overconsumption.

People in the industrialized countries make up just 20% of the world population but consume 80% of the world's resources and produce 80% of the toxic wastes.


This year's local Buy Nothing Day celebration will feature a large gathering outside of Barnes and Noble at downtown Naperville, 47 East Chicago Ave, at 5:00pm.


Don't miss the first party of the Christmas season!

godo chance to hand out flyers if you are with an organization!
