Aug. 19th - Weekly Buy Nothing Day!

But we all do it. Whether it is the businessman out on his coffee break buying another cruller and cup or the anarchist holding the anti-corporate sign in one hand and a McDonald's breakfast sandwich in the other (true story, read the FAQ). We hardly notice it when it happens and we rarely research where our money is going or even what the things we buy are doing to us. But day after day, we work for these things. We punch in and talk about the weather with our co-workers and punch out again as much for that new television as for that loaf of bread. I'm not even sure if there is a hierarchy of desires in our minds up to a certain point.

This is why I take a break every week. To think and utilize. To stop sliding and step slowly for a while.
