Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
To make your Thanksgiving celebration as eco-friendly as possible, follow the three Rs of conservation: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
Reduce waste by buying only the needed amount of Thanksgiving supplies. Choose products with little packaging, recycled packaging, or—much better—no packaging at all.
Reuse your best silverware. Don’t buy disposable. They look ugly and a Thanksgiving dinner, tableware is far more refined.
Recycle paper, plastic, glass and aluminum containers. If you don’t already have a compost bin, use your Thanksgiving fruit and vegetable trimmings to start one. The compost will enrich the soil in your garden next spring.
