Caroline Keating changed the description of the group The NOT Buying It Collective from "The Not Buying It Club is a counter-cultural, gift-economy collective, made up of craftivists of all ages. We meet to “make things better” and challenge unsustainable consumer norms. We repair and share the stuff we already have and whenever possible, by any means possible, we try to avoid buying new stuff! Our gift economy helps the environment and people by not buying into the materials economy model. The Not Buying It Club is a place that nourishes one’s authentic sense of belonging while prompting healthy questioning and reshaping of our consumption habits and our personal piles of belongings." to "The Not Buying It Club is a counter-cultural, gift-economy collective, made up of craftivists of all ages.
