Ahh, shopping therapy! The cause of that great feeling you get when you go out on a whim and buy the first thing you see. But is that feeling long-lasting? No! It doesn't take long for that temporary joy to go away and for guilt to set in over the money you've spent. So, why not try something else? Why not try doing nothing? That's right. 'Buy Nothing Day' is a special day to relax and unwind without spending any money at all. Just think how beneficial this would be both for you and, yes, the planet! Every time you don't buy anything, you're doing your part to lessen the bad effect you have on the natural environment.

So, what can you as an individual do on Buy Nothing Day?

1. _________

Why don't you sit down and make a list of what you would normally buy in a day? Then, cross off everything that is not absolutely necessary. The results are surprising, aren't they?

2. _________

How about stopping for a minute to think about where your pocket money goes every month? Do you waste money on things you don't really need? Do you throw things away instead of getting them fixed? Plan a budget and stick to it.
