Do One Thing for the Planet
This month, our Do One Thing for the Planet is to 'Think as we Thank'.
This Thanksgiving, we can show gratitude by making eco-friendly choices that protect the planet. Start by opting for compostable or paper plates instead of plastic, which takes centuries to break down. Reduce meat consumption to lower your carbon footprint, and incorporate more plant-based dishes using seasonal vegetables and grains. Supporting local farmers by choosing locally grown produce, like squash and pumpkins, helps reduce transportation emissions and packaging waste. Even small choices, like serving water in pitchers or choosing recyclable glass or aluminum drink containers, can make a difference. By making thoughtful choices in our holiday preparations, we can honor the Earth and ensure its abundance for future generations.
