Adbusters- Media Foundation is a not-for-profit, anti-consumerist organization founded in 1989 by Kalle Lasn and Bill Schmalz in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The foundation describes itself as "a global network of artists, activists, writers, pranksters, students, educators and entrepreneurs who want to advance the new social activist movement of the information age."[1]
The foundation publishes Adbusters- Journal of Mental Environment , an activist magazine with a circulation of 120,000 devoted to numerous political and social causes, many of which are anti-consumerist in nature. Adbusters has also launched numerous international social marketingcampaigns, including Buy Nothing Day and TV Turnoff Week, and is known for their "subvertisements" that spoof popular advertisements.
Lasn: “Over-consumption has ecological consequences… over-consumption is, in some sense, the mother of all our environmental problems.”CNN: “Oh, c’mon, environmental problems?”
