I just heard the founder of Buy Nothing New Month this morning and about this website. We don't have to wait for a particular month to take small actions (or large). The site is full of great ideas and apart from benefiting the environment, you will be benefiting your wallet. https://www.buynothingnew.com.au/

I already buy fuck all new. The shit I buy I 95% need to buy. I need to buy fence pailings to fix my fence tomorrow. After that I'm looking to buy under floor insulation and the strapping to hold it in place. I think we just need a "Stop buying dumb shit" movement.

    I like the name of your movement. It gives me the giggles and reminds me of a song / jingle that was popular more than a decade ago. It wasn't about buying dumb shit but about doing dumb stuff in metro stations and risking your life. You might recognise it when you see it (but you might be too young). Anyway, have a look and enjoy it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJNR2EpS0jw
