What is Buy Nothing Day?
Buy Nothing Day is an international day of protest against overconsumption, held on Black Friday in North America and on the following Saturday elsewhere. It was started in Vancouver in 1992 by artist Ted Dave and promoted by the Canadian magazine Adbusters. Participants spend 24 hours buying nothing at all, and use the day to swap, repair, give away or simply think about the environmental and social cost of what they buy.
How to celebrate
Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
