Buy Nothing Day To Morph Into Wildcat Strike Against Consumerism - Adbusters
Saturday/14 November 2009
Adbusters has
announced that this year Buy Nothing Day will be on November 27th
for North America and November 28th in other parts of the world.
Think about it. Think ...... hmmmmmm, why not?
Adbusters has also called for the morphing of Buy Nothing Day into an international wildcat strike against consumerism.
This is from the Adbusters website:
There’s only one way to avoid the collapse of this human experiment of ours on Planet Earth: we have to consume less.

So this November 27 (November 28 in
Europe and overseas), we’re calling for a Wildcat General
Strike. We’re asking tens of millions of people around the
world to bring the capitalist consumption machine to a grinding
– if only momentary – halt.
We want you to not only stop buying for 24 hours, but to shut off
your lights, televisions and other nonessential appliances. We want
you to park your car, turn off your phones and log off of your
computer for the day.
We’re calling for a Ramadan-like fast. From sunrise to sunset
we’ll abstain en masse, not only from holiday shopping, but
from all the temptations of our five-planet
lifestyles.
And this is a tv ad from a previous year, an ad that networks
refused to air.
