Buy Nothing New Month

October is Buy Nothing New Month, a global initiative that encourages people to refrain from purchasing new items for a month. You can join in by reusing, repairing, and repurposing items that you already have. You could consider holding a clothes swap party with friends, borrowing or sharing tools with family or neighbours, visiting a library to borrow a book, patching up worn-out jeans, or thinking ahead and creating homemade Christmas gifts. Visit the Buy Nothing New website for more information
