One of my favorite things on your site is the Scavenger craigslist finds. Blogs I like to read regularly go into my Google Reader. Before, I could see the entire post in the reader. Now I only get the highlighted scavenger item, and I have to travel all the way over to the actual blog to see the "Other Good Stuff". Can you make sit work like it used to and show the full post for RSS readers? save bandwidth and electricity! thanks!

Maybe you don't need that Roomba vaccum or the projection TV. Try living without the television. I recommend it, it's wonderful not being constantly advertised to. The point of Buy Nothing day is to get people to think about their consumer habits on a day-to-day basis, not just for one day a year. When you think about how much you are saving, stop to think about what went into the production of that necessity you are purchasing, how many people worked around the clock in sub-standard working conditions to get it to you, how much fossil fuel was used in it's transport to you, the packaging... everything. Then, ask yourself, do I really need this? If so, could I buy something second-hand and save on all of that waste, instead? This is the opportunity to inspire change.

Rather than supporting corporations slashing their already low prices (due to exploitative subsidized foreign labor), support a good cause.

BUY NOTHING this Friday.

Think about the overall cost of something, not just how many schillings you personally have to dish out for it. Everyday.

those molded flowers aren't holding it together. they're skate-stoppers.

unfortunate, because that bench vault looks great for skateboarding (minus the bumpy ground). it's too bad city-developers don't incorporate multi-purpose architecture into these sorts of public spaces. they'd save money and resources on building over-developed skateparks by allowing skaters to skate things they're building anyways.
