While I appreciate the sentiment behind Buy Nothing Day it really is a pointless endeavour.
Sadly, production and consumption are intrinsically tied to one another. My income will get spent whether it is by me or in the bank... in the bank someone else gets to spend it.
The only way to lower consumption is to lower my production levels... I don't think Earn Nothing Day has quite the same ring to it though.
