It’s easy to green your Thanksgiving day events and still keep it simple and fun. Try these tips…
- Use real dining ware and cloth napkins and tablecloths. While most of us don’t use paper plates at Thanksgiving, some do to save time, or for a Thanksgiving potluck. Using real dishes and cloth napkins plus tablecloths will green up your day in a big way.
- Serve organic foods and drinks.If you can’t afford to serve an entirely organic feast, the turkey and dairy good you serve are a good place to start. Poultry and dairy products have both been found to contain plenty of pesticide that you don’t need to serve to your family. Learn which types of foods you should buy organic. Also serve eco-friendly treats with your meal such as organic pies, fair trade coffee, and organic holiday cookies.
- Go veggie! Don’t serve meat at all. Vegetarian meals have a much smaller impact on the planet.
