Not Buying It: My Year Without ShoppingShocked by the commerce in everything from pet cloning to patriotism, frightened by the downward spiral of her finances and that of the trash strewn earth, Judith Levine enlists her partner, Paul, in a radical experiment: to forgo all but the most necessary purchases for an entire year.

Shocked by the commerce in everything from pet cloning to patriotism, frightened by the downward spiral of her finances and that of the trash-strewn earth, Judith Levine enlists her partner, Paul, in a radical experiment: to forgo all but the most necessary purchases for an entire year. Without consumer goods and experiences, Judith and Paul pursue their careers, nurture relationships, and try to keep their sanity, their identities, and their sense of humor intact. Tracking their progress -- and inevitable lapses -- Levine contemplates need and desire, scarcity and security, consumerism and citizenship. She asks the Big Questions: Can the economy survive without shopping? Are Q-tips necessary? Not Buying It is the confession of a woman any reader can identify with: someone who can't live without French roast coffee or SmartWool socks but who has had it up to here with overconsumption and its effects on the earth and everyone who dwells there. For the humor and intelligence of its insights, the refreshment of its skepticism, and the surprises of its conclusions, Not Buying It is sure to be on anyone's list of Necessities.Binding Type: Paperback

Rusty LOVES them.
Size: Large
Our dog loves these balls! I like that they squeak and the texture prevents them from getting slimy from his spit. They last more than smooth balls. You do need to make sure you get the right size for your dogs mouth.

Squeaker Does NOT Break in a Day
Size: Large
My mid-size, 40lb heeler mix loves these chew balls. They are easily his favorite toys to fetch, chase and chew on.
We’ve had the chew balls for several months, and, unfortunately the squeaker does not break in a day. They are still going strong.
Extremely durable and great value for the money.

Very durable, even after the squeaker quits
Size: Large
These balls are really durable! The squeaker inside only lasted about a week, but my dog loves to chase it and just chew on it in his mouth. I took two of them to the dog park, and the other dogs were the same way with them.
