Last year, I created a flash animation promoting Buy Nothing Day 2008- Buy Nothing Day takes place on Black Friday and obviously promotes buying…you guessed it….NOTHING. I understand that to survive we need to buy necessities, but the average American spent around $347 on Black Friday alone in 2007 (and I probably wasn’t on necessities). I’m not suggesting that every American should never spend again (with the economy as it currently stands..which is more like…crumbling than standing), but to instead rethink what we are spending our (hard-earned) money on.
