Tips for an Earth Friendly Thanksgiving Meal
Thanksgiving is right around the corner and it can be a stressful time for the planet. This year, why not be a little easier on the planet with a few of these tips?

• Eat less meat! A lot of energy goes into the production of meat in comparison to vegetables. Vegetarian diets provide numerous benefits to the planet.  However, Thanksgiving is about family so you may need to compromise and only go all vegetarian with your meal if you have the support of all attendees. Other options include a smaller turkey and a vegetarian alternative or an organic, free-range turkey, which has far less impact on the environment than a traditional turkey.
• Go organic with most of your meal. Organic food uses less energy and pesticides to produce. Plus, organic food tends to be more flavorful!
• Go local! Check the farmers’ market for yummy fresh produce grown in your area. Local food travels a shorter distance, thus emitting less pollution into the air from travel.
• Buy items with minimal packaging, or recyclable or reusable packaging. Less waste is always better for the environment!
