Today is Buy Nothing Day.

It is a growing movement to start changing the mindsets of consumers – for this holiday season and for 2009. While it may be loosely organized and not given full support by those who want to spend, it is an interesting day to take a chance to improve the way you look at spending during the holiday season.

If you support the idea, PROTEST against consumerism! Take the time to read, exercise or spend time with loved ones. HAVE FUN! The weather has been wonderful in Haligonia the last few days.

Check out what people are saying about the concept. Talk to co-workers. Start a conversation with someone new. Get Haligonia in the know about this!

The rest of the world has its Buy Nothing Day tomorrow. Don’t hesitate to protest against spending for the WHOLE weekend…
