It’s becoming harder and harder to avoid ads about Black Friday, but at FTA we’re on a mission to accelerate conscious consumerism, so we remain focused on supporting and promoting Buy Nothing Day!
The first Buy Nothing Day was organized in Canada in September 1992 “as a day for society to examine the issue of overconsumption”. While it has since become an international day of protest against consumerism, it was strategically aligned with Black Friday, one of the ten busiest shopping days in the United States *, and the launch of the Christmas shopping season.
