Answer:
1. What are the problems of buy nothing movement?
The problem of the buy nothing movement is that, while it has a positive side: the preoccupation with the enviromental degradation that the production of goods and services can cause, and the preoccupation with the personal degradation that consumerism can cause as well, it also has a negative side: the world economy depends on the production and consumption of goods and services, and buying less can mean having less jobs for people, and obviously those who are poorer would be the most affected.
Besides, the vast majority of people do not agree with the lifestyle that the movement promotes, and would rather keep buying goods and services.
2. How can you convince your friend about the buy nothing movement?
The easiest way would be to talk to them about the enviromental degradation that overspending and overproduction can cause. Your friend does not necessarily have to become part of the buy nothing movement, but could simply become a more responsible consumer.
