Buy Nothing Day can be celebrated today 28th november 2008 by bying nothing.

And the other days of the year it would be wise to think twice before you buy. There are those very smart folks who keeps telling that it doesn’t make any difference what a single person consumes. The whole system should be changed first. Next day these same very sharp people tell, that system can’t be changed, because people do not want to consume ecologically and ethically produced products and services…

Natural resources and future generations

In Finland we have every spring a happening called “Nuukuusviikko”, something about Thrifty Week in english. NGO organisations encourage people to live their daily lives using less energy and natural resources.

The Green Changemakers have found a Japanese term for Thrifty Week. It is Mottainai! :) It is an old Japanese word with love and compassion to think of the gift from the nature or someone who made the product. The word closest to Mottainai in English is “Do not waste!”.
