Sustainable Thanksgiving Meal Preparation
Let's make Thanksgiving GREEN with sustainable meal prep! This Thanksgiving, prioritize using reusable dinnerware and cookware whenever possible. Check with friends and neighbors before purchasing new equipment. Look for food packaging that is 100% recycled and 100% recyclable!
The production of new materials, called “virgin materials,” removes precious resources from the earth. By purchasing “post consumer” products or “100% recycled” products, you are both diverting waste from landfills and preventing more resource loss. Recycled materials are less pollutive, use less materials, and are cost effective.
Make sure to recycle clean and dry packaging after Thanksgiving to continue the loop! Visit https://wwrarecycles.org/what-can-i-recycle/ to find out what is and isn't recyclable.
