[ekes]

Glasgow have posted a report since I e-mailed, and there are a couple of 
typo-type changes... It goes without saying that the feature will have 
to be updated anyway as people post more ;-)

<p>Saturday November 26th 2005 was Buy Nothing Day (UK), the self 
proclaimed festival of frugal living and culture jammers jamboree. A day 
to expose the environmental and ethical consequences of consumerism, 
where developed countries (only 20% of the world population) are 
consuming over 80% of the earth's natural resources, causing a 
disproportionate level of environmental damage and unfair distribution 
of wealth. <a href="http://www.buynothingday.co.uk/">[Buy Nothing Day UK

<p>A wide range of activities happened over the country. In Leeds free 
vegan burgers were given away outside McDonalds, there was also a free 
shop and party <a
