The only money changing hands at Delilah Snell’s Road Less Traveled Store Friday will be play money — to help customers barter goods with one another in a green protest of “black Friday.” 
The traditional stampede shopping day — jammed malls and parking lots, mountains of plastic packaging, all those excess greenhouse gas emissions — can leave the green-minded incensed. And it has given rise to another tradition: “Buy Nothing” days, held to counteract black Friday.
“We’re getting a really good response,” Snell said Tuesday. “People are calling every day.”
Customers will be encouraged to bring items to her Santa Ana store on Friday to barter for others: “books, clothing, small furniture, electronics, hobby gear, camping stuff, craft supplies, magazines, music,” she said. “Obviously, bring stuff that works.”
