Having a green thanksgiving!!

Now we all love this holiday. But how can we keep it green and keep it somewhat the same? Just a few little reminders should help do the trick. I don't see why we have to overly concious about it for thanksgiving anyways...

1. Buy things with less packaging or packaging that will biodegrade.
2. Recycle what you can!
3. Don't use paper or plastic plates, forks, cups ect. In my family we never did, but some people do.
4. Visiting family members far away once a year (instead of several times for the holiday season) will reduce the amount of carbon dioxide and harsh chemicals released into the atmosphere while traveling.
5. Compost your stuff if you are into that.
6. Remind everyone to be thankful that the earth has provided us with such a wonderful meal for a family to gather and enjoy together.

Thats all the ideas I have for now.. So Happy Thanksgiving!
