Five Ways for a Greener Thanksgiving

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Year after year, consumers throw away countless amounts of money on the holidays. By cutting back on needless spending, we can help animals, the environment, our health, and our wallets.

1. Don't buy disposable plates, cups, plastic ware, etc. Use the real thing if you can. Yes, it is a little more work, but well worth it.

2. Try a vegetarian Thanksgiving feast! Turkeys, and your body, will be saying, "Thank You!"

3. Buy foods that are local and organic. Don't forget the reusable shopping bags!

4. Shut off oven 5 minutes early and let the built up heat finish cooking the food.

5. Have your Thanksgiving dinner by candlelight.

Remember...every little bit helps!
