Black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year. But what if you'd rather opt out of holiday shopping altogether? How do you show you care without buying fancy gifts? We talk to a sustainability expert about ways to repurpose items we already have and with a woman who hasn't bought anything new for the past five years. What are your tips for a non-consumer holiday?
Host: Michael Krasny

- Beth Terry, author of "Plastic Free: How I Kicked the Plastic Habit and How You Can Too;" also runs the blog myplasticfreelife.com
