Celebrate Buy Nothing Day ! But you can still win something big

Michael Lessard, Friday, November 27, 2009 - 15:33 ( | | | | | )

I tried capitalism and I didn't like it... Can I have my money back?


Join the Wildcat Strike on Shopping!

As is our annual tradition, we are closing our webstore Friday, November 27 for Buy Nothing Day. It's the same day as Black Friday, the official kick-off of the Christmas shopping season where consumer mobs flood stores and ransack shelves in a frenzied quest for low, low prices. Hopefully this year no workers will be trampled to death in the ensuing hysteria, and we encourage everyone to give this deranged day of consumerism gone wild a miss. But if you really can't deny yourself, we love this faux website at Do The Green Thing where you can "shop your sustainable heart out and Buy Nothing™."

1st WINNER DRAWN IN THE GIVE SOMETHING BIG CONTEST!

Congratulations to our first winner who will receive The Take DVD & Fair Trade chocolate bars! The contest remains open until December 14 when we give away the grand prize. So far, we've received some great dream BIG gift ideas, and we would love to see them all come true.

Check out our blog post for all the details and the 4 ways to enter.

Once our webstore re-opens on Saturday, we will be donating ALL the profits during the holiday season to Inter Pares' Give Something Big campaign supporting global peace and justice.

We're big fans of Inter Pares who were one of the first supporters of The Corporation. For the work they do overseas, they partner with existing on-the-ground organizations that are working to promote justice in their own communities. Their support strengthens the work of local groups and encourages them in the development and implementation of their own programs. It's a refreshing, bottom-up approach that sees them collaborating with activists in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and here in Canada.

Take a breather from the shopping madness and check out their alternative holiday giving campaign at: www.GiveSomethingBig.com

Have a FABULOUS Buy Nothing Day!
Hello Cool World & The Corporation grassroots team

 

CHRISTMAS DOESN'T HAVE TO BE STRESSFUL

Instead of battling through stores during the December gift rush, you can support the causes and people who are changing their societies for the better. Like Inter Pares' Give Something Big campaign where you make a donation and receive festive and customizable holiday cards. You can send animated, musical e-cards (and add your photo even), or go the traditional route with paper cards.

Industrial Society Destroys Mind and Environment

sushil_yadav, Tuesday, September 5, 2006 - 12:15 ( | | | | )

I want to share my article with you. This is about the link between Mind and Social / Environmental-Issues. The fast-paced, consumerist lifestyle of Industrial Society is causing exponential rise in psychological problems besides destroying the environment. All issues are interlinked. Our Minds cannot be peaceful when attention-spans are down to nanoseconds, microseconds and milliseconds. Our Minds cannot be peaceful if we destroy Nature.

Sir! No Sir! - A Film About The GI Movement Against The War In Vietnam

Anonyme, Monday, March 27, 2006 - 20:25 ( | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | )

“The Vietnam War has been the subject of hundreds of films, both fiction and non-fiction, but this story—the story of the rebellion of thousands of American soldiers against the war—has never been told in film. This is certainly not for lack of evidence...

Economic Treason in the USA, Particularly for High-tech & Manufacturing Jobs

michc, Monday, July 18, 2005 - 03:08 ( | | | | | | | | | )

Teaser? Plainly, I know first-hand that what the author of the referenced article, in this post, states is certainly of the order of truth. I know and have been displaced into beyond poverty, to rather quite total poverty, for going on seven years, as of the anniversary date next month, on Aug. 8th. It's not the anniversary of going literally into beyond, or total poverty limits, but of the last day of employment that I had had, in 1998; around four ensuing months having been used to recouperate from burnout, and then the job search going into full throttle from the first week of January 1999 until the end of August 1999, when all had to be abandonned; the apartment, the car upon which another year and a half of payments were left to be paid, and by far all of my possessions. Having found myself homeless, car-less, ..., and having had parents who retired to reside in Quebec, long before, and them having a spare room, well, this is where I headed to.

Even before that happened, there were already US companies putting job ads out like the two the author of the referenced article refers to; making it clear that US citizens are, now, and were back then, not welcome, "need not apply", for jobs in their own country.



Lulling us into submission; Advertising and the mainstream media

The Oldest Soul, Monday, October 13, 2003 - 13:35 ( | | )

Even when writing solely for industry insiders in the media sections of newspapers, journalists are cautious to avoid stating the dependence on advertising too baldly...

"Power and Terror: Noam Chomsky In Our Times"

Anonyme, Monday, November 25, 2002 - 22:04 ( | | )



It is a testament to the force of Noam Chomsky's ideas that a film like "Power and Terror: Noam Chomsky In Our Times" can get a theatrical release. The documentary, which opened this weekend in New York and on a small number of screens in North America, is essentially just a highlight reel of the graying intellectual's most relevant thoughts about the post-9/11 world.
