Us Melburnians are really being challenged to think about the world that we live in. It may seem like I am starting this on a heavy note; however it is true to imply that the economic times around the world over the last few years have changed the way many people think about consumption forever, and many people's credit cards are thanking them for it. And so is the environment and their personal relationships including family. October 2011 in Melbourne is
Buy Nothing New Month ; an initiative designed to help us save money, minimise waste and have heaps of fun.
Take a look at your wardrobe and be really honest with yourself: how many of the clothes in your wardrobe do you actually wear at least once? That's right not many at all. And the event's
website raises a few valid points as to where our world is heading in the areas of consumption; its like living to work instead of working to live. And living to eat instead of eating to live.
Buy Nothing New Month is giving us Melburnians an opportunity to borrow, swap, and/or trade in unwanted clothes amongst each other. It is like a detox month for our wardrobe, where you don't have to spend a lot of money at Bourke Street Mall, High Street or Chapel Street in order to feel good. You could also end up $5000 richer in addition to giving your wardrobe a rejuvenation while your finances are thanking you simultaneously for it.
If you choose to participate go to the 'pledge' area of the Buy Nothing New Month website. Why not?. How many times have you gone to the shops, and ended up with clothes that you have not worn a year later? Something to definitely think about.
