Have you heard of “Buy Nothing Day”? Do you think you can’t spend a coin on that day?
This holiday encourages people to stop buying thing. It began in the l990s in Vancouver, Canada.It was the idea of a man named Kalle Lasn.After working for many years in advertising(广告业),Lasn began to question the ways advertisers influenced people to buy things.
Lasn knows that people need to buy things. They have to buy things to eat,live and even enjoy life.But Lasn believes that many companies encourage people to buy far more than is necessary.He thinks it hurts people and culture.
Lasn tries to help people understand some of the false values and ideas behind advertising.The main value he fights is the idea.“You must buy more to be happy.”Encouraging people to celebrate“Buy Nothing Day”is one idea he came up with.
“Buy Nothing Day” is celebrated on the fourth Friday of every November.Lasn chose this day for a very important reason.It is one of the biggest shopping days of the year.Advertisers call this day Black Friday.
The first “Buy Nothing Day” was celebrated in Canada in 1992.Many other countries also have growing problems with too much consumption (消费). Now, over sixty different countries,including the USA,the UK,Germany, France,Japan,are celebrating“Buy Nothing Day”.
Some people doubt if “Buy Nothing Day” can really change culture.It is only one day, they say.Other people say that consumers should not just buy less,but they should buy better.These people encourage consumers to buy things made in environment—friendly ways.

The earth is 4 600 million years old. We humans have lived on earth for only 35 000 years, but during this period we have changed our planet a lot in many ways. Some things we’ve done are very good for the earth while some are bad.
All over the world, people have cut down millions of trees. When it rains or when the wind blows, the earth is taken away. Forests have become deserts, so more and more sorts of animals and plants are disappearing.
In big cities, cars and buses have polluted the air. Many people in cities now have health problems.
Factories have also polluted the land and the water. As a result, many rivers and lakes are now dead.
Around the earth, there’s a special kind of oxygen called “ozone”(O3). It is important to the earth. But now air pollution is destroying it and that has made a very big hole in the ozone layer. Too much harmful radiation from the sun passes through the hole and reaches the earth directly. This is very dangerous because this kind of radiation can cause cancer.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air has increased a lot. It mainly comes from burning oil, coal and wood. This has formed a “blanket” around the earth. The heat from the sun can’t escape so the temperature is rising. This is called “the greenhouse effect”. It causes the level of the oceans to rise and the climate of the earth to change.
All these problems are very serious, so we must do something now.
