162. Buy nothing day

Many people are crazy of shopping. When they start to shop, they will buy whatever they see. Some others make plans to buy  and they strictly see the things in their shopping list only. One more category of people do a lot of window shopping and find out what are the new arrivals and compare brand, price, quality etc. Next step they do is to come to a conclusion and straightaway go to buy.

Some people challenge themselves to visit all the shops which contain the items of their choice but prevent themselves from buying anything. This is called buy nothing day. In the world 20% of the people are able to buy what they want. To balance the unfair distribution of wealth this day is celebrated.

Many products the consumers buy are toxic waste which are harmful to the environment. It is celebrated on 29th November in U.K. In Canada and America it falls on the friday after Thanks giving day. It is an opportunity to consume less the products in the market. the term “buy nothing day” became very popular through internet and the social media also took part to take the message to the consumers.

Nothing will happen if we do shopping on one day but it makes to think while making any purchase afterwards. Sp, enjoy the day and count the days in a year which was spent as “buy nothing day”.
