Friday November 25th - Bring your friends!

WPIRG's Food Not Bombs and UW Campus Greens present:

Buy Nothing Day celebrations on Campus

Buy Nothing Day was launched 12 years ago and has grown to a global
celebration of consumer awareness and simple living. It is held
yearly about a month before Christmas, because this is the West's
busiest shopping period of the year. On Friday November 25, 2005
millions of people around the world will chose not participate in the
consumptive patterns that dominate western society. Instead we will
make a small choice not to shop; we shrink our footprint and take a
day to reflect upon our unsustainable path and celebrate Buy Nothing
Day.

You can participate in the global movement by choosing not to shop on
Friday November 25, 2005.

Three Fabulous Events at the University of Waterloo that don't Co$t a thing:

Event: Swap Table (Bring items that you no longer need and trade for
something new).
Place: Great Hall-SLC
Time: 10:00 am-3:00 pm

Event: Free Food Serving (Enjoy a snack prepared by Food not Bombs).
Place: In front of Modern Languages
Time: 12:30 pm-2:00 pm

Event: Movie "Koyaanisqatsi".
Place: Great Hall-SLC
Time: 12:00

Check out a good film called "Koyaanisqatsi". This film takes
the viewer on a wild flight from the tranquil western deserts of the
United States, through the great planes of the nation's heartland and
mid-west, our forests and on to America's largest cities. The pace
accelerates as the music and images drive individualism from the
minds' eye. Modern technological life becomes impersonal and
mechanical, and humans become robotic. Our everyday lives seem
meaningless as we produce, consume, and maintain ever increasing
amounts of need.
