As Thanksgiving approaches, I thought it was interesting how this article talked about planning an eco-friendly feast! The first step is deciding wether or not you want a 100% vegan menu which would be the most eco-friendly meal but most people don't want tofu shaped like a turkey so the article's advice is to choose a turkey that the USDA has certified organic and free-range. Of course free-range doesn't mean free from confinement but it is better than caged..or so it might make a person feel :) If turkey is not what you like to eat, there is a link with plenty of meat-less options as well as vegetarian gravy. Visit the local farmer's market for the freshest ingredients to make your mashed potatoes! And if you can't find a local farmer's market in your area, try to purchase as many organic, in-season ingredients at the grocery store as you can. Another helpful tip is to ask people to RSVP that way you can monitor unnecessary food waste, and ask your guests to bring a reusable dish to share leftovers. Enjoy!
