Green Thanksgiving Ideas

MarinaHanes ~ 24 September 2009

It seems as though Halloween is a ways away, but Thanksgiving will be fast approaching. During the holiday season, it’s tempting to cut corners but that usually means you become more wasteful and less eco-friendly. Hosting a green Thanksgiving dinner takes some planning ahead, but it’s well worth it in the end.

Decorations and cute nametags for the table are nice but not practical. Instead of investing extra money into these items and wasting paper and plastic, create your own natural decorations. A cornucopia filled with fresh fruit can make a great centerpiece for your table. Just be sure to let your guests know that the fruit is edible. You can also use any fall leaves and pinecones from outside to construct your own wreath. Another tip is to limit your light use and make your dinner atmosphere more relaxing with spice scented soy candles.
