As we count down the days until Thanksgiving break, it is time to think about how to make your holiday more sustainable! No worries, it's simple and you won't be missing out on any delicious foods! Take these few tips to help our world, your stomach, and your life be more sustainable this holiday.
1. Shop Organic
Organic meat usually means the animal was raised more ethically and without pesticides or hormones. Try to have an organic turkey this year!
2. Shop local
Farmer's markets are the best places to buy delicious seasonal fruits and veggies. This will help add fresher ingredients to your Thanksgiving meal! Yum!
3. Cook what you'll eat
Try to make just enough food for those you are cooking for. Although it's tempting to cook massive amounts of food, cook the amount you know you will eat!
4. Love the Leftovers
If you do have leftovers, don't throw them away! Make delicious Thanksgiving meals in the days after Thanksgiving! Try creative meals like turkey sandwiches with all your fixins!
5. Use Tupperware
Put your leftovers in reusable Tupperware instead of plastic wraps and baggies. The best part is that you can fill Tupperware containers with your favorite foods and bring the leftovers back to school with you!
6. Choose to Reuse
Forget bottled water this year and switch to tap water in glasses. Not only does it look nice, but you reduce your waste. Put away those paper plates and plastic forks and choose to use nice dinner plates that you will use throughout the year.
7. Enjoy Thanksgiving!!!
See you all after the holiday!
