The first Buy Nothing Day 1 (celebrate) in September 1992. In1997, it was changed to the Friday following Thanksgiving in November. Soon after, it gained 2 support of Adbusters, a Canadian media company questioning the 3 (important) that cultures give to advertising and shopping. When the group tried to place commercials (广告) on television, the only major TV network 4 accepted them was CNN. Despite these attempts to silence the movement, it spread to the US, Germany, Japan, and several other countries worldwide.
Buy Nothing Day challenges people to avoid 5 (buy) anything for 24 hours. Supporters hope that during this time, people will reflect on the need to “have things”, which is pushed by large companies. By getting people to focus on what they do have, they can become more sympathetic (有同情心的) towards the poor 6 people who have less than they do.
Another activity 7 (call) the zombie walk is to show the way most people shop. In this walk, participants walk around shopping malls like zombies. If 8 (ask) what’s happening, they will educate them about Buy Nothing Day. Whirl-Mart is another funny method of drawing attention to the purpose of Buy Nothing Day. People will take empty shopping carts and form a line inside a supermarket. Then, they will race through the aisles (通道) 9 putting anything in their empty carts. Other supporters celebrate the event by 10 (simple) doing other free activities such as hiking, bicycling, or taking a boat ride. No matter how one participates, Buy Nothing Day presents us with an opportunity to remember that the best things in life are free.
