Well, it's here again! The shopping frenzy is working itself up, people are going crazy 'cos there's just not enough time to buy all the junk they need, and the shops are rubbing their hands together.

...and we're gonna put a stop to it ;-)

Leave your wallet at home, and come to our Consumer free zone somewhere in Parliament Street. You'll be able to enjoy some free fair trade coffee, play games with strangers, join the Buy Nothing Day conga, swap stuff at the free shop. Just bring a picnic and your imagination.

Print out the Buy Nothing Day money and distibute widely...
