[Peace-discuss] Fwd: Buy Nothing Day Update

[Ken Urban]

There are some pretty good TV commericals at the bottom.  My favorite is
the pig at

http://adbusters.org/campaigns/bnd/toolbox/voucher.html  (and a radio
spot at: http://adbusters.org/campaigns/bnd/toolbox/radio/ )

The text is: 
---------------------------------------------
The average North American consumes five times more than a Mexican, ten
times more than a Chinese person, and thirty times more than a person
from India.

(Burp!)

We are the most voracious consumers in the world... a world that could
die because of the way we North Americans live.

Give it a rest!
November 28th is Buy Nothing Day.

Jammers,

The Buy Nothing Day bulls are seeing red, and it's full-charge ahead 
toward Friday, November 28th.

What's happening on the media front?  We're aiming anti-ads at millions

of people worldwide parked in front of their TV screens.

Last year, you elected the burping pig as the official BND 
spokesperson.  We raised $20,000, and then sent piggy to market at CNN.

  The first salvo in this year's campaign will come Monday, November 
24th, when our Big Mac spot airs on CNN's Inside Politics.  In the 
donations department, we still have a long way to go.  You can preview

the anti-ads and lend support to the cause here:

Of course, the heart of Buy Nothing Day isn't at CNN.  Instead, it's 
with the people, planning pranks, potlucks and barter fairs - and 
changing minds.  Creativity is always the name of the game.  Share your

plans with others at the contacts page:

and check out some of the hot jam ideas from our Jam Aid program at:

Good luck with all your BND preparations.
Happy Jamming,
