| + | On Saturday 29th November it’s BUY NOTHING DAY - time for the 2009 Norwich | ||
| + | City Centre Rat Race! The race will highlight the moral, environmental and | ||
| + | personal consequences of consumerism, and also challenge the city centre’s | ||
| + | most unethical corporations. It would be great if as many people came | ||
| + | along as possible! | ||
| + | |||
| + | Rat masks and ‘go faster’, ‘work harder’ signs will be provided and it | ||
| + | would be good if people could dress smart (ish). We don’t know how long it | ||
| + | will last but probably an hour or two of racing, with lots of rest breaks. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Here’s what you need to know … | ||

| + | We all know that corporate consumer culture creates major social and | ||
| + | environmental problems. From day one, we're sold the story that the more | ||
| + | stuff we buy, the better off we'll be. But deep down, we also know that we | ||
| + | can't buy happiness. So, let’s take a holiday from the consumer rat race. | ||
| + | See you all Saturday 24th. | ||
