Tips for an eco- friendly Thanksgiving!
<br />• Buy organic milk, meat, veggies and an organic free -range
<br />turkey.
<br />• When shopping, buy things that have the least amount of
<br />packaging and try to buy packaging that is environmentally
<br />friendly.
<br />• If you make too much food, give the leftovers away to family
<br />and friends; don't let them mold in the fridge.
<br />• If you do not plan on washing dishes, purchase biodegradable
<br />dinnerware.
<br />• Plant a tree. Winter season is a good time to plant trees and
<br />shrubs so take this time to plant a tree and keep the green
<br />growing.
