Collect Facebook badges from visiting the National Parks: America's Best Idea
Sunday, 20 September 2009 00:00 | 
The National Parks - America's Best Idea is a 12-hour documentary series by documentary film-maker Ken Burns, which is about to launch (27 Sept) on the USA's Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) channels.
The US National Park Service is responsible for almost 400 natural, cultural, historic and recreational parks in the USA and this landmark TV series will not only trace the history of the parks' evolution, but highlight the scale and beauty of some of the best, and least, well-known.
As part of the promotion of the parks, each of the parks has been given a digital I've-been-there badge, which you can collect and add to a widget designed for your Facebook page, or blog or website, MySpace profile, etc... and, of course, you don't have to be an American to do it.
