“Every November 25, for 24 hours, we remember that no one was born to shop, we make a small choice to participate by not participating. We call it Buy Nothing Day, and judging by the huge successes seen all across the globe last year – with thousands of activists and fed-up citizens taking part in dozens of countries – this year’s festival of restraint could be the biggest yet.
If you’ve never taken part in Buy Nothing Day, or if you’ve taken part in the past but haven’t really committed to doing it again, consider this: 2006 will go down as the year in which mainstream dialogue about global warming finally reached its critical mass. What better way to bring the Year of Global Warming to a close than to point people in the direction of real and effective alternatives to the unbridled consumption that has created this quagmire?”

This website came out of the New Creation and Ecology class offered in the Fall of 2006. In the course of this class, we came to realize the lack of resources many of us had for living ecologically-friendly lives, especially on campus. The website was our initial attempt to share resources with one another. It is an ever-evolving site that is eager for any and all additional information, ideas, resources, etc. To have something added, e-mail me here and we’ll get it online.
