Hey, I didn't know this until today by accident:

http://www.adbusters.org/campaigns/bnd Actually the international event began...in Vancouver, here over 10 years ago. Adbusters is a magazine, etc.

Of course, cynics can say, many of us have the freedom to buy the next day.

Would you say that if you are a cyclist that uses a bike often for shopping, that you buy less volume/ stuff in general?

Since we don't have a car, occasionally we do have to plan things abit more. But that's only 2-3 times annually. Buying more stuff for our place...to keep forever...means more mess in our crowded place. Doesn't mean I've taken great pains to correct the problem. But I'm hoping not get anymore knickknacks as gifts from others, for home.
