10. Buy Nothing Day in Budapest
Some two dozen environmental activists marched down Budapest's pedestrian Vaci Street, pushing shopping carts to mark the annually held Buy Nothing Day on Friday.
Each year there are more goods that
people buy though they do not need them. Environmental and
anti-consumerism organisations call a boycott on shops all around the
world on the last weekend of November. The demonstration was
organised by the Waste Task Force and the Association of
Conscientious Buyers to warn that exaggerated and unreasonable
consumerism led to significant environmental and social damage.
