We are trying to pare down our Christmas gift giving this year too! <br />Thanks also for sharing your presentation. I've skimmed it, but bookmarked it so I can read it in more depth when I have more time.

That is included in the Green Friday idea, that we SHOULD support the small (and larger) businesses that are ethical and planet-friendly RATHER than the giant corporations working to maximize shareholder returns at the expense of the planet.

I'm sure your presentations and panels were fantastic!! <br />You know, I greet the anti-shopping campaigns with mixed feelings. I love the planet, try to make decent choices at least most of the time and recycle etc. etc., and I'm certainly wary of the motives & practices of many big corporations. And I've been vegetarian for almost 32 years (The large scale raising of animals for meat has destroyed/is destroying the planet, not to mention the ethical issues re. their treatment.) I certainly agree time with loved ones is way more important than stuff. But getting involved in my little downtown merchants/business association recently has me advocating for supporting real brick-and-mortar stores run by real people, too; our quaint little town wouldn't be here with all its history and preserved natural beauty etc. if folks didn't spend money here. Maybe we can all go outside and play on Friday (or some of us will be on the road!), and shop local on Small Business Saturday, as Linda mentioned. Of course, as the owner of a teeny wee business, I'm biased! ;0) Wishing you and your beautiful family a wonderful Thanksgiving!!Robyn Hood Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07279289715664168026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084574475796190316.post-89439497081306016742019-11-23T07:10:06.583-05:002019-11-23T07:10:06.583-05:00I love the idea of Green Friday, and I am particip...I love the idea of Green Friday, and I am participating this year.

I love that REI closes on Friday and encourages everyone to enjoy the great outdoors instead of shopping.

I support Buy Local & will be working at my tiny used bookstore, hoping customers will come instead of heading out to the big sales.
