Sept. 30th - Weekly Buy Nothing Day!

Today... No money... No consumer addiction... No stressing about finances... Just relax, enjoy what you already have (it's more than you think), and take a break from the church bells of cash registers.

Maybe you could go on a bike ride? That's always free. If you would have come out to Chicago's Critical Mass last night, we would have showed you how it was done. Cold, rainy and a hell of a good time, myself and about a thousand others took to the streets with our human-powered vehicles to remind everyone that there are better ways to get around this city than pumping the gas. Just like there are better ways to have fun than weekend shopping sprees.

Maybe you could even bike up to the Chicago History Museum's grand reopening?
