Host a Green & Grateful Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is a time for families to come together, share a delicious meal, and express gratitude. It's also an excellent opportunity to embrace sustainability by reducing the environmental impact of your celebrations. Here are three tips for hosting a Thanksgiving that's both green and grateful:
Mindful Meal Planning
The centerpiece of Thanksgiving is undoubtedly the feast. Plan your meal portions carefully to avoid excess food waste and use leftovers creatively or provide guests with reusable containers to take home extra food.

Eco-Friendly Tablewear
The table setting plays a key role in creating the Thanksgiving ambiance. Choose a warm, autumnal color palette and minimize the use of disposable items by opting for reusable plates, cups, and utensils.
