To celebrate a day to buy nothing, groups in Glasgow got together for the first time since the G8. Soarsa Social center, Clown, Critical Mass and more joined forces to call attention to mindless consumerism.
The Retail therapists were on form to help people cure their 'afluenzia' disease. Soarsa social center brought the tea and the Swap Shop stall where the sick could experience other forms trade. And Critical Mass brought bikes and bodies to hand out leaflets and smiles all around.
