Press release from The Wellness Foundation, Ottawa, Canada

Buy Nothing Day !! (November 28th & 29th) is supported by a growing international grass roots movement that seriously questions over-consumption.

This day is being observed in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States.

This NEW revolutionary practice is FREE:

• You buy nothing - you save it all - (there are no bills to pay - ever,. It can be practiced one or more days a week for even greater savings)

• Your credit rating starts to improve - or to become unimportant

• You help save the planet (This is great for our grandchildren and all future generations)

The Wellness Foundation; The World Business Academy, Ottawa Chapter and The QLN Network (Quality of Life) invite you, your family, and friends to a showing of The Wellness Foundation's video, which premiered at the U.N. on October 6th 1997, Habitat Day:

"The flowering of our human spirit - its healing time on planet earth"

The views expressed lever off of Albert Einstein's comment that "problems cannot be solved at the level of consciousness that created them."
