There are plenty of things
you can do this Thanksgiving season to make it a “green” one.
- When shopping for food bring a reusable bag
- Plan meals ahead of time so you don't over buy
- Try to buy local, seasonal and organic food
- Shop at farmers markets and support local shops. Houston has a ton of great places to pick up local foods. Some of my favorites are The French Bakery, Revival Market and House of Pies
- Try to buy items that do not have a whole lot of packaging
- Stay at home with family
- If you're hosting Thanksgiving, ask guests to bring their own to go containers
- Don’t use paper plates and plastic utensils. Break out the china, silverware, cloth napkins, etc.
- Try to buy turkeys grown without hormones and antibiotics
- Recycle your glass, plastic and aluminum foil
- Recycle the turkey fat
- Donate leftovers to a shelter
- Compost your scraps
- VOLUNTEER at a local shelter
- Make your own decorations, reuse the ones you have or buy some from a resale shop
- BE THANKFUL
