Buy Nothing Day 1999:
Planned in Vienna
Nov. 7. On our last coordinative meeting we decided us for the following activities:
- Free and vegan Food from "Food Not Bombs"
- "Advertising-art": We will organize a big box, for the advertising-paper people want to get of...later we and interested people/kids will fold Origami-art out of it or we do some paper-aeroplane challenge
- "Slow walk": Groups of four walk very slow within the hectic crowd...a Flipchart will invite and inform all passerbys about the "departure times"...
- "Rest Zone": hectic people and exhausted Santa Claus (we will organize dresses) have the possibility to have a break in deck chairs.
- "Waste Info": "Kauf Nix" will be hand-written on waste paper in several languages (even latin!) and handed out to passerbys.
- "Kauf Nix Song" will be played and sung, lyrics can be read on a flip chart.
We decided that we will hand out no leavlets, flyers, folders or anything like that in order leave the focus on the "waste info"(see above). With that we have very good experiance!!! Written info will be fixed and just for reading and not for taking it away...
We have a new meeting point: on 27.11. office of AAI in 1010 Vienna, Volksgartenstr.1 at 0900 o'Clock, so that we are able to transport the materials we need together (without cars) to the place of celebrations.
On 27.11. at 10.00 we will start celebrations on 1060 Vienna, Mariahilfer Street 75.
Our new email:
Best wishes,
Ronny
