I’m in Yahoo finance!

April 25, 2012 by Angela Leave a Comment

Check out this nice write up about my year of buying nothing new, by Gail Johnson of Yahoo! Canada Finance. She actually listened to what I said in the interview, and didn’t make me sound like a total weirdo.

I was looking for a new, “fun” photo to accompany the article, and decided on this one. My husband thought this pose in schoolmarm garb outside Jane Austen’s house was a bit too close to type, but there you go. I guess I’m a type: older sister, schoolteacher, community volunteer. I probably would have been part of the Women’s Temperance Movement if I had lived in another era. Since I enjoy a nice glass of wine, as well as a martini or margarita on occasion, it’s a good thing for me I didn’t.

Thanks Gail!

About Angela

On January 1st, 2009, I joined The Compact and pledged to Buy Nothing New for one year. It sounded like the perfect way to converge my desire to live on less money with my interest in living a simpler life and trying to lessen my carbon footprint. The experiment was so rewarding that I'm continuing with it indefinitely. This blog documents my journey in non-consumerism.
