Consume no television, Internet, radio, movies, newspapers or magazines.' en-gb team@pledgebank.com 1901-01-01T00:00+00:00 2 hourly http://www.pledgebank.com/nomedia#comment_541136 Just go to some really strict camp for a few weeks that should be easy, but doing that in general life would be so difficult unless you are planning to be like one of those Buddhist monks. http://www.pledgebank.com/nomedia#comment_165592 Wow, avoiding any media at all is going to be tough. I can see it working if you're out in the wilderness camping for 2 weeks. Where are you going to stay? http://www.pledgebank.com/nomedia#comment_85558 Does this include listening to ipod/mp3 player/record collection? obviously you wouldn't be able to listen to podcasts, but how far does the definition of 'media' go? http://www.pledgebank.com/nomedia#comment_71356 hey wayneo. thanks for the support. really appreciate it. i want to us stick to these dates for a number of reasons. but i will be repeating this pledge in the not too distant future. it'd be great to have you on board next time. http://www.pledgebank.com/nomedia#comment_71350 I am happy to do this but I want to change the date - it needs to be the last week in august and the first in sept. I am on holliday then, I'm a web developer so it's impossible otherwise. Also, does standing in a field, messed up on the Isle of White listening to bands play at Bestival count as consuming media? I guess it kinda does... http://www.pledgebank.com/nomedia#comment_61377 I am using FLICKR as a repository for any artwork that's created during the nomedia fortnight. I would also love to see photographs of you doing something useful/pointless with your new found free time. http://www.flickr.com/groups/57338654@N00/ http://www.pledgebank.com/nomedia#comment_45164 Big thanks to Rob Brezsny for publicising this pledge on his newsletter. The idea for the media boycott actually came from his book The Televisionary Oracle. Read it, if you haven't already. His website is www.freewillastrology.com http://www.pledgebank.com/nomedia#comment_42531 work emails fine! you've got to work to eat..wouldn't want to get in the way of that. http://www.pledgebank.com/nomedia#comment_41970 Wonderful....Just what we need, less media. Can we do it for government too? http://www.pledgebank.com/nomedia#comment_41336 Hello, I was ready to jump in and commit to this boycott, when I wondered if I could read my email at work. Unfortunately, we use this a lot. I would like a specific reason to stop watching tv, listening to radio, reading magazines....blahblahblah....please let me know if work related email is ok.
