Hello everyone,

just a reminder that tomorrow, Friday Nov.27, is International Buy Nothing
Day. That means a 24 hour moratorium on consumption. Take this opportunity
to consider how our consumer culture affects our lives and the lives of
others in our local and global community. 

Join us in the CELEBRATION! There are many exciting activities planned for
the day. Our alternative recipe tastes a bit like this:

	1. Begin with:  Not Buying Anything (of course) 

	2. If that wets your whistle then add : 
		A trip at 12noon to the front of the 
		Spring Garden Rd. Library for leafletting 
		and Street Theatre gallore all around the downtown!

	3. Add finally sprinkle a touch of :
		Actions and pamphleting in shopping malls 
		around the city beginning at 6pm. Meet at
		the parking lot on the corner of Sackville,
		Bell and South Park streets (across from 
		the CBC radio building). 


This recipe is sponsored by Youth for Social Justice, NSPIRG's Eco
Action group and other concerned culinary commoners.


Happy Buy Nothing Day! Participate by not participating!
