Selling Out?

"Buy Nothing Day" on Friday. Unfortunately that's the day I'm going to Chilliwack to see a theatre production. I've purchased the tickets in advance so that's not the issue. The dilemna is that if I'm going to Chilliwack anyway, I need to make the trip a shopping time as well. This is to cut down on fossil fuel consumption that an extra trip would cause. I'm going to Value Village, so I'm not consuming new items. This has to count for something. In fact, I took the ecological footprint test in the Sun paper last weekend and one does get credit for buying used rather than new clothing. Oh and I'm buying power smart light bulbs for our Holly Days theme basket which is all about GREEN and all about raising money for food hampers at Christmas. Oh and yesterday was a buy nothing day for me.
Man, it's tough keeping my conscience appeased in this age, but I'm working at it.

I so can understand your dilemma! I too am wrestling! We made a conscious choice to honour "buy nothing day" and egad...I hear some shoes that we decided to get our girls for Christmas are going on sale in town - half price! Today only! What are the odds of that...
