On Nov. 24, a group of activists dressed like zombies invaded the super modern shopping mall called "Golden Terraces" in Warsaw for the annual "Buy Nothing Day" anti-consumerist action.

The activists brought a bullhorn with which they spoke about the action until eventually being chased away by security. (They went back to the mall a few minutes later only to give up the action after hearing how the head of security were threatening to fire the guards (employed by supershit firm Impel) for allowing such a breach.) During the action, leaflets were given out explaining the principles of Buy Nothing Day and also explaining the ideas behind different forms of consumer protest, including boycott of companies which abuse workers or have unhealthy practices and support of cooperatives, etc. etc.

More leafleting and a slide show on the side of one supermarket also took place.

The action is to be followed by a meeting / discussion on issues such as simple living, consumer actions, fair trade etc. which is open to everybody who might be interested in learning more about these issues.
