Sure you can go a day without making a purchase, but what about a year? While it may seem extreme, Mark Boyle makes a case for a world without purchases. While Boyle doesn't believe his year long experiment will yield a world without money, his study of such a world is an entertaining read. He also provides resources for his less extreme readers who may want to make small changes such as trading your goods (www.freecycle.org), swapping your books (www.bookhopper.com), and free lodging (www.couchsurfing.com). For more environmentally-friendly ideas, see Sleeping Naked is Green by Vanessa Farquharson.
