Amy Clark just sent me this very cool announcement – she’s is helping launch a new online magazine called Stop Buying Stuff. It’s a celebration, not simply a political directive.  I think many of us have felt a certain relief during this recent economic failure, like the noise has been quieted. And Stop Buying Stuff is celebrating those things we do to feel alive that don’t cost anything (which are most things).  Go check it out and give them some content.  And don’t forget to check out the Store while you’re there.

Here’s Amy’s announcement:

I’m calling for content submissions for a brand new website:  http://www.stopbuyingstuffmagazine.com/index.html

Stop Buying Stuff Magazine is dedicated to celebrating human ingenuity and the power of fun, community, and creativity.  We’re doing this now by creating a collection of tips for weathering the New Great Depression.  Check out the website for all the cool stuff!  And please, contribute!

We need you to make this website work.  Stop Buying Stuff Magazine (.com) is a collaboration between you and other cool people,  so share some content with the magazine.  You will get a publication credit and become part of a community of people, all of whom know how to do something. Send us your recipes, crafts,  art, stories, resources, games, songs, poems,  letters, drawings, images, riddles, or instructions.  Stop Buying Stuff Magazine believes that, like that girl in the Breakfast Club who puts on lipstick with her boobs, everyone knows how to do something.  And we should all share our knowledge.

Send all materials or questions to stopbuyingstuffmagazine@gmail.com

And pass this message along to everyone you know!
