Buy Nothing New Campaigns
The Buy Nothing New Month Campaign Was Launched by Keep Britain Tidy
Grace Mahas — March 5, 2024
January 2024 marked the launch of "Buy Nothing New" in Northern Ireland, a campaign encouraging consumers to reconsider their buying habits towards more sustainable options like reusing, repairing, or repurposing. The initiative challenges us to reconsider our purchasing habits, highlighting the environmental and financial benefits of mindful consumption. By pausing new purchases and exploring alternatives like borrowing, buying pre-loved, or renting, participants contribute to reducing waste and supporting a more sustainable economy.
"Buy Nothing New Month" is not just about recycling; it's a call to appreciate what we already possess, repair rather than discard, and rehome items we no longer need. This January, let's commit to a positive change by minimizing our consumption of new goods, a step towards a greener future and healthier finances. Join the movement and discover practical tips for sustainable living through Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful's resources. Together, we can make a significant impact on our planet and foster a more circular economy.
