Jammers,
Millions of things are on the go in the Buy Nothing Day network, but these news items were too hot to pass up.
One: the attack on the Big Mac has garnered an awesome response. Not one, but two 15-second anti-McDonalds spots - on the 24th and 25th of November - are hitting CNN's Inside Politics. We're aiming for a third ad, so help spread the word and lend to the cause.

(Our insider at CNN says there's an email about these spots circulating. Apparently we've stirred up the hive and the workers are buzzing.)
Two: Buy Nothing Day has gone scientific. Statistics show you're not alone wanting to shun consumerism the day after Thanksgiving - more than 60 percent of Americans do, too. Check out our BND homepage and click the link to the BND SURVEY.

Happy Jamming.

- 61% intend "to stay as far away from stores or malls as possible"
- 35% have an unused Christmas present collecting dust in their closet
- 33% admit to throwing Christmas presents straight into the trash
- 8% say their credit cards will "be maxed out before the time the
holidays are through" |
