Black Friday
The communication campaign around this great day of consumption is as impressive as it is questioning. Can we continue to promote mass consumption in the current ecological context?
In France, we have "French days" in October, then Black Friday and Cyber Monday. As a consumer, we can be easily lost with these countless sales. Also, there is a day of protest against Black Friday and consumerism which is called "Buy Nothing Day". The rules are simple, people have to spend a day without spending.
Personally, I really enjoy spending money on clothes during Black Friday but this year I've realized this huge impact of mass consumption on earth. I'll think twice before buying something and I'll ask to myself do I really need this pair of jeans or this jacket?
What's your thoughts about Black Friday and mass-consumption?
Great topic since I don't like mass shopping. Don't like all the hype and I always think about whether it's a need or a want! Well said, dear!

ReplyDeleteI think people should be more consciousness about shopping. all the black friday can be a help in saving money, but there are always many investments.

I actually didn't bought anything this recent Black Friday :) because earlier this year I made a vow that I will only buy what I really need. And if I want something, it should be something worthwhile. And I'm from the Philippines, it's really hard to do since we have so many Holidays that businesses exploits for profit. We don't have thanksgiving but we also have Black Friday and even the Cyber Monday sale. And then there's also single's day which is 11.11 sale and the upcoming 12.12 sale
