Thanksgiving is loaded with tradition, so why not
start a new tradition by making your Thanksgiving
holiday celebration green? Reducing impact on the
environment is something for which everyone can be
thankful. Here are a few tips on giving thanks to
the environment:
- Use homemade decorations. Construction paper
can be cut or folded into simple Pilgrim, turkey
and harvest decorations and after the paper can
be recycled.
- Carry reusable bags when you go grocery
shopping.
- At dinner use cloth napkins that can be
washed and used again.
- Make use of the beautiful weather outside
and open up windows to help cool down the house
instead of turning on the A/C.
- Share leftovers with guests. Don’t keep all
the leftovers in your fridge to get moldy and go
to waste, send your guests home with a doggie
bag so no food goes to waste.
- Purchase fewer processed foods and seek out
locally grown goods and organic foods.
- Shop online on Black Friday in the comfort
of your home. You’ll save on emissions as well
as hassle.
