Buy Nothing Dav was
created “to raise awareness
that the worldwide destruc-
tion of the environment and
many of our emerging socio-
economic problems come
largely as a result of overcon-
sumption in First World
nations.”

Adbusters is urging every-
one to observe a 24-hour
moratorium on consumer
spending on Nov. 27.

“This break fram shop-

ping should be used by all to
reflect on their identities as
something other than con-
sumters.

At the very least, it is
hoped that the international
initiative and the local obser-
vance will jolt shoppers into
taking a second look at their
consumer habits.”

Starting ar 3 p.m. on
Friday, Adbusters supporters
will be joined on Robson by
street performers and mem-
bers of other public aware-
ness groups.
