Every day we are saturated by advertisements, offers and incentives that drive us to massive consumption. Faced with this phenomenon called “Black Friday”, the “Green Friday” movement arises, which proposes fun sustainable activities such as the initiative called “Flea Market Challenge among friends”, an experience of exchanging clothes, books and accessories between friends or family, where You won’t have to spend a dime, also promoting more conscious and environmentally friendly consumption. We encourage you to exchange items (with friends or family) instead of succumbing to consumerism and excessive Black Friday shopping disguised as “best deals of the year.”
Below, we leave you the steps to organize it better:
Step 1
Invite your friends
Share the idea of the market among your friends or family and invite those who you think will enjoy this unique exchange experience.
Step 2
Choose the perfect place
Select a comfortable and accessible space, such as your living room or a WhatsApp group, so that everyone can enjoy the event.
Step 3
Set the rules
Decide how the exchange will take place. You can opt for a direct barter system or create a fictitious currency to facilitate transactions.
Step 4
Create a fun atmosphere
Prepare music, snacks and activities to make the market a memorable and fun-filled experience.
If the market is virtual, leave one day to exchange everything.
What is Green Friday?
It is a global movement that challenges the consumerist fever of ‘Black Friday’. Instead of getting carried away with massive purchases, ‘Green Friday’ invites us to reflect and commit to sustainability and responsible consumption.
This day is a reminder that we can enjoy what we already have, support ecological practices and make conscious decisions that benefit the planet. Join the movement and make a difference!
