Instead of shopping on Black Friday, I'm starting a new tradition...spending the Friday after Thanksgiving with family and friends outside in nature. I won't find any good sales or deals, just beautiful, peaceful nature and people I love.
Yesterday, after visiting Hetch Hetchy Valley, part of Yosemite National Park, I was horrified to learn that a Wal-Mart worker was trampled to death when the store first opened. More mind-blowing were the reports that shoppers who were still waiting in line to get in, were angry at the delay after Police had to rope off the store.
Not only is this type of consumerism unsustainable, but now its literally killing people. Sad, scary.

I heard about what happened at that Walmart and everytime I think about it it makes me more and more disgusted. Are we really that terrible? I'm glad that you are starting a new tradition with your family and friends!
