For years, I have been criticizing over-consumption.
Have you heard about "Buy Nothing Day"? In North America, the United Kingdom, Finland and Sweden, Buy Nothing Day is held the day after U.S. Thanksgiving, concurrent with Black Friday. Elsewhere, it is held the following day, which is also the last Saturday of November. So in Germany, it's on Saturday, November 29.
