A pledge to go a year without buying anything new

There was a story this morning on NPR about the
Compact - - a growing social movement in which
members vow to buy nothing new for a year.
Here
is a link to a related article. This would be very
difficult for a lot of people, myself included.
I think it would be a great challenge though. We have been making great strides in trimming the fat from our daily lives, i.e. clipping more coupons, cooking many more dinners at home, attending free cultural events, going to the library more... I feel like we could be doing much more though to get back to the 'basics'.
