Every year on the third Thursday, people observe Use Less Stuff Day, an unofficial holiday. This day serves as a reminder to prioritise sustainability over mindless consumption. This day will be observed on November 20, 2025. Its simple message is to make people aware of how reducing unnecessary purchases makes the environment easier to breathe. Buying fewer things reduces the amount of trash that is thrown out, emits fewer emissions and eases the burden on landfills. Over time, small things like using a tote again, fixing equipment instead of throwing it away, and taking a moment before swiping a card can add up to significant change.
