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．
But “Buy Nothing Day” does get people thinking about the negative(负面的)influences of buying too much．

It’s important to learn things about protecting environment. Here’s a 5Rs rule for us.
·Reduce（减少）
If you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely. A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses paper carelessly and then throws it away, soon we would not have any trees left. Some other things are also being wasted, and people don’t know what to do with waste in big cities, so it’s necessary to reduce waste.
·Reuse（再利用）
You should always think of reusing the usable（可用的） things before throwing them away. Give your clothes or things you don’t use to the poor. In a family, you may pass such clothes on to your younger brothers or sisters.
·Recycle（再回收）
Bottles, cans（罐）and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so we save lots of time and money, for example, cola cans are sent to a factory, where they’re smashed flat（压平）and smelted (熔化), and the metal things are made into new cola cans.
·Recover（恢复）
When you buy a box of apples, there may be a few rotten（腐烂的）apples, you have two choice: one is to throw the whole apples away, or you should cut off the rotten parts and use the good parts. In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food.
·Repair
If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it instead of throwing the table away. If you want to change for better ones, it’s better for you to sell the old ones or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair.
