In fact many people are doing this: The Compact (people pledge to buy 
nothing new for a year or more; the yahoo list is wildly popular); 
Reverend Billy and the church of stop shopping (he's an orator and 
comedian who does street theater in shopping malls and districts 
during the holidays, and has a new movie); Buy Nothing Day (the 
Friday after Thanksgiving); simplicity circles.

But I know, this kind of thing rarely makes the news and in real life 
I know very few others who think like th is. But a couple decades 
ago, none of these "movements" existed.
