Today is BUY NOTHING DAY - Is Owning More Plastic Crap the Path to Happiness? For Amazon Prime Day, QUESTION CONSUMPTION.

refuse to consume for Amazon Prime Day - say NO to Plastic Crap - meme - gvan42


If you are Compelled to Shop,
Try your Local Thrift Store... 

I'm amazed that there is a Business Called 
1-800-Got-Junk? It's a Service for People That BOUGHT TOO MUCH PLASTIC CRAP
and Now Want to Get Rid of all the JUNK Cluttering Their Lives! 

SIMPLY REFUSE TO CONSUME AND YOU WON'T NEED THAT SERVICE!

Shop at a Thrift Store. Here's a Guide to The Best Values in the USA. Remember: REFUSE TO BUY CHINESE JUNK.

The Profits are Donated to Charity... 
Fixing Broken American Lives!

Remember! Buying Used Merchandise Keeps Your 
Dollars IN AMERICA! When You Buy a New 
Product Made in China, Your Money is Sent to the 
Corporations in China... By Simply Buying Used, 
Your Money is Used to Finance the Local Homeless 
People Shelter or Animal Shelter! Or Pay for the 
Free Meal!

How to Cook: 
I like Brown Rice and a Can of Tuna... this is the 
Classic "POOR BOY" choice of Food... First take 
One Cup of Brown Rice, add THREE cups of water 
AND SALT & PEPPER... bring it to a full rolling 
boil... dump in the entire can of tuna... stir, cover 
and wait... maybe boil it again to absorb all the 
water...

My Autobiography: Growing Up in Los Gatos, California in the 1960s by Gregory Vanderlaan - and Living in San Jose, Washington DC, Chico, Eureka and Orangevale, CA.

History of the Vietnam War. 58,000 Americans Died for Nothing... Something They Don't Teach in School Now... "Too Controversial" -

During the 1950s Americans went into a Mad Panic about Communists taking over the world. We built thousands of Nuclear Missiles and Fallout Shelters. The US Congress had witch hunts (Joe McCarthy-HUAC) to expose "Commies" who worked in The Hollywood Movie business and blacklisted folksingers that were leading our young people astray with Labor Union Organizing songs.
