Buy Nothing Day (1 Viewer)

[path]

hello

Buy Nothing Day is on November 24th this year. Anyone interested in getting involved in some sort of action should come along to a little meeting of minds in Conways pub on Tuesday November 6th at 8pm.

If you would like to know more background on what this is all about, then please visit
http://www.buynothingday.co.uk/

Some Critical Mass people will be there also to discuss another action in the near future. Please come along if you have been involved with the Critical Mass before.

Conways pub is on Parnell Street. Go to the top of O'Connell Street and take a left. Its about 20 metres down the road, on a corner.

Any queries give me a shout at: [email protected]

regards

As long as you make the effort to spend it on ethically sound products, we dont mind. Good on you Hector.

("i dont care if fucking blind kids in a sweatshop beaten down with electric cattle prods made the shit I'm going to buy" or some such...)

Yeah ok, if you want, mail me privately and I'll furnish you with some products you could buy and where to get them, and what products you should avoid. I can also forward on some web addresses to you if you want with information on stuff like footwear that isnt produced in sweatshops, and which supports local smaller businesses rather than multinationals.

small businesses are small because they're crap at being big.

Fair play mate. But I’m not in need of a political education. I have one. I suffer from ethical insouciance. I’ll leave you with a quote form somewhere… who are you to ask me to question authority.
And with that…pooooffff, he was gone.

Fair play though.

I can see that as being used as a slogan at some convention of big business types. It'd be deadly!!
