 | Bring Your Own Grocery Bag
Reusable shopping bags are one of the easiest ways to be Earth-friendly. The EPA estimates that Americans use 380 billion plastic bags per year. Do your part to conserve by bringing your own bag when you shop for your Thanksgiving dinner. |

 | Avoid Disposable Dishes and Silverware
Americans throw away 25% more waste between Thanksgiving and New Years than we do in any other time of the year. Paper plates and disposable utensils can account for a large portion of that waste. Do your part to minimize your holiday waste: choose reusable dishes and utensils. |

 | Buy Organic Flowers
Are you planning to add flowers to your holiday festivities? Consider buying organic flowers. Whenever you touch or inhale the scent of non-organic flowers, you could be ingesting pesticides and chemicals. With organic flowers you can add beauty to your holiday table without adding chemicals and pesticides to your home. |
