Social Action Committee
and Sustainable Hudson
Valley present:
Celebrate Buy Nothing Day !!
For
24
hours,
millions of people around the world
do not participate in
the
marketing mind-games,
and the frantic consumer-binge
that's become our
culture.
We
pause.
We
make a small choice not to purchase anything new.
We
shrink
our footprint and gain some calm.
Come and celebrate the
spirit of Buy Nothing Day with us
Saturday,
November 26. 2005 10 AM - 3PM

Freecycle:
Where one person's trash is
another's treasure! Our goal is to make
it easy for everyone in the area to find new homes for perfectly good
items rather than throw them away. In the process, we’ll reduce waste,
save precious resources, ease the burden on landfills, and connect with
like-minded folks. Register at the following links to post
items to give away, or ask for items you're looking for.
