The Buy Nothing, Get Everything Plan

fullDescription

In the spirit of The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning and The Joy of Less, experience the benefits of buying less and sharing more with this accessible 7-step guide to decluttering, saving money, and creating community from the creators of the Buy Nothing Project.
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.

     Cofounders of the Buy Nothing Project Clark and Rockefeller offer a seven-step manual that teaches readers how to buy less, give more, and live generously. Based on a project in which neighbors actually bought nothing but shared and pooled resources, this guide presents concrete suggestions on how to avoid buying plastic, create a gift economy group, and find inventive ways to lend and borrow different items. This book not only enlightens readers on the consequences of using disposable goods but encourages them to think outside the box and envision the unforeseen blessings of sharing and using less. VERDICT A great springboard to finding an antidote to consumerism.

     Troubled by plastic waste littering the beach, Clark and Rockefeller began a campaign to reduce the use of plastics in their Washington State community. As they weaned themselves and their families from bags and wraps, they also began noticing just how many other things they purchased and eventually threw away. Concern for the environment led them to start the Buy Nothing Project, which strives to reduce trash and increase community connections by sharing or gifting used objects. The authors present a seven-step challenge that encourages readers to think before buying, gift unused items, borrow instead of purchase, fix still-usable items, repurpose leftovers, recycle what's left, and be grateful to those who share. Not only do members save space and money, they also often find themselves forming warm relationships between givers and receivers. Clark and Rockefeller offer specific steps on how to set up local groups (with or without social media), and participants share their heartwarming stories. Hopefully their work will inspire others with stuffed closets and storage lockers to do the same.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.)
