Last night I was watching part 1 of the PBS series The National Parks: America’s Best Idea. For me our national parks (and state parks too) have always been about beauty, nature, and relaxation. When I buy an annual pass and use it a couple times, I’m always struck at what a good deal it is.

It wasn’t until watching the program, however, that I began to think of parks as an incredibly powerful idea. The video below explains that idea and features some fantastic scenery captured on film.  After watching it, one can’t help but wonder what other cool ideas like this one are just waiting to emerge from our collective will as a nation, a community, or even within our work team.
