Buy Nothing Day does not have the political teeth it needs to be an effective message to the public. Buy Nothing Day was originally conceived by activist Ted Dave and promoted by Adbusters out of Vancouver, Canada to counter act the hyperbolic spending spree called Black Friday. I think Buy Nothing Day is a ground breaking idea, but I also believe our way of thinking about consumption can shift further if it is a message more people can identify with.
