Fox News has some timely coverage of International Buy Nothing Day. That's one day a year set aside as a protest against consumerism.
Coincidentally, this year Buy Nothing Day happened to fall on Black Friday. Looks to me like we're a long way from abolishing rampant consumerism.
Our addiction to buying shoddy schlock we don't need far outweighs any commitment we may have to sustainable living on this planet.
As a species, we are doomed to shop till we, quite literally, drop.
