Thank Mother Earth during Thanksgiving
As Thanksgiving approaches, we might find ourselves thinking about all the things we are thankful for. Lets not forget to thank Mother Earth. There are a lot of good ideas to celebrate a green, eco-friendly Thanksgiving. It's not as hard you might think. Here re just a few ideas we'd like to share to help you lessen your carbon footprint: Use public transportation, walk, carpool or bike to your local grocery store and to Thanksgiving dinner Shop locally (avoid travelling long distances or shopping online) Buy sustainable food products Consider having a vegetarian Thanksgiving Avoid using throwaway dishware or utensils Avoid cooking too much food to minimize food waste Invite guests to bring containers if they want to take leftovers home Donate leftovers to your local homeless shelter or to someone in need What better way to share our gratitude with each other and Mother Earth than by participating in this effort and becoming environmental stewards.
