Turn Black Friday Green

I was delighted to learn on the news this morning of a program picked up by state parks: "turn black Friday green."  Enticing would-be-shoppers to consider alternative activities, some state parks are offering free entry today.  I love this program, and the timing is perfect.  After a day of cooking and indoor activities, families are invited to enjoy the outdoors, and reflect further on what we are so grateful for and how we can make better choices to celebrate the earth and family.
