The Buy Nothing, Get Everything Plan: Discover the Joy of Spending Less, Sharing More, and Living Generously Paperback – Day to Day Calendar, January 12, 2021
Purchase options and add-ons
In their island community, friends Liesl Clark and Rebecca Rockefeller discovered that the beaches of Puget Sound were spoiled by a daily influx of plastic items and trash washing on shore. From pens and toothbrushes to toys and straws, they wondered, where did it all come from? Of course, it comes from us—our homes, our backyards, our cars, and our workplaces. And so, a rallying cry against excess stuff was born.
In 2013, they launched the first Facebook Buy Nothing Project group in their small town off the coast of Seattle, and they never expected it to become a viral sensation. Today there are thousands of Buy Nothing groups all over the world, boasting more than a million members, and 5,000 highly active volunteers.
Inspired by the ancient practice of gift economies, where neighbors share and pool resources,The Buy Nothing, Get Everything Plan introduces an environmentally conscious 7-step guide that teaches us how to buy less, give more, and live generously. At once an actionable plan and a thought-provoking exploration of our addiction to stuff, this powerful program will help you declutter your home without filling landfills, shop more thoughtfully and discerningly, and let go of the need to buy new things. Filled with helpful lists and practical suggestions including 50 items you never need to buy (Ziploc bags and paper towels) and 50 things to make instead (gift cards and salad dressing), The Buy Nothing, Get Everything Plan encourages you to rethink why you shop and embrace a space-saving, money-saving, and earth-saving mindset of buying less and sharing more.

Join and give where you live; Give ~ Receive ~ Lend ~ Share and Show Gratitude in hyper-local gift economies, where the true wealth is the connections between real neighbors. I joined a neighborhood group and have found great pleasure in giving / sharing what I no longer use or need. Pass it on!
Decluttering, making-do, homemade-ing, giving back, and buying only what you truly need. It's a different way of looking at what you have in relation to pollution, recycling, and overproduction of plastic, as well as a moralistic, perhaps monastic duty.
I confess to not following every suggestion, but we should all read this and aim toward these goals to be sensitive to the earth and avoiding wastefulness.
