Chapel Hill bookstore locks cash registers for Buy Nothing Day

[auburngrad82]

The Internationalist Bookstore, a left-leaning bookstore in Chapel Hill, NC, is participating in Buy Nothing Day. They say that it will effect their sales but they think it's important to participate. I've never been there but I'm proud of them.

What's Buy Nothing Day all about?
Buy Nothing Day is a simple idea with deep implications. It forces us to think about the "shop-till-you-drop" imperative and its impact on the rest of the world. The Buy Nothing Day movement began thirteen years ago in Canada and has since spread around the globe. For a complete history of the movement, go to www.adbusters.org. We invite you to join us in our celebration of community beyond consumerism!
