Have a green Thanksgiving!

With Thanksgiving just two days away I wanted to post some tips to make it a little greener! Here they are:
1. Look for organic turkeys, fruits and vegetables, and if you really want to go all out, check out Tofurkeys!
2. Get creative with your plating- think squash soup served in the rinds you hollowed out to make it.
3. Find alternative (re: recycled) centerpieces for your table. Instead of the typical greenhouse-raised and pesticide-filled flowers, take some branches and fallen leaves from your yard and make your own arrangement.
4. As always, recycle and compost everything you can.
Give thanks to Mother Earth this year- she deserves it!

  1. Eating thoughtfully and recycling are commendable ideas. Let's also be thankful for the abundance of resources we have and have an awareness for people around the world who have very little.
