Rather more useful than “Buy Nothing Day”

Unconsumption is a word used to describe everything that happens after an act of acquisition.”

Would it be conspicuous concern — signaling — to mention that I intend to buy nothing new this year (save consumables, which I’m also trying to reduce)?  I’ll gamble on that not being the case, wager that the net positive effect for the planet, by publicizing this idea, will be significantly higher than the possible increase in esteem by readers.
