全球節慶
Although avoiding shopping is the main point of Buy Nothing Day, other creative forms of protest are sometimes used. One activity that draws a lot of attention is the credit card cut-up. People will gather at shopping centers with their credit cards in one hand and a pair of scissors in the other. Then, they will cut their cards into pieces. Another activity called the zombie walk is to show the way most people shop. In this walk, participants walk around shopping malls like zombies. If anyone asks them what’s happening, they will educate them about Buy Nothing Day.
