Buy Nothing Day

Ironically, now that I am selling food, I find myself on the wrong side of this fantastic movement. I want to sell you stuff. I want people to eat fair trade, organic food. But, perhaps, buy nothing day can mean more than just hesitating to shop one day a year. Perhaps, on a day when the specials are so exciting, we can try to think about the gift of giving not just to our immediate friends but to our collective futures, and the futures of our great grand childen, whose voices are keeping Drew Dellinger awake at night...

But hey...buy some fair trade books?
