Seattle Greener Thanksgiving
I love this Blog, it really has great points as to how far Seattle has come in the "Green Field". I love the point she makes about eating locally. My personal favorite is the Thomas Street Bistro, on Capitol Hill, of course in Seattle Washington. They purchase all the food from local markets! How good does it feel to settle down in a comfy Bistro, and still keep the Earth happy? Oh, it feels SO good.
Happy Thanksgiving, Seattle! Here are some tips on having an Eco-Friendly Thanksgiving!
The biggest three in my opinion:
***Eat local, use your green bin, and set an eco table***
Eat Local - This is something Seattle has really been getting better at anyway, but don't forget about all the local farmer markets and local companies when it comes to Thanksgiving! Eating local does several things - the food is fresher, it supports the local economy, and it takes less in resources to get it from point A to point B. This picture is from a Victory Garden in Sunset Hill where a neighbor was encouraging people to come and plant a plot.
Green Bin: I was so thankful when we were able to start using green bins for food scraps and food soiled products. When I think back to all of those pizza boxes where I had to rip them in two and put the top unsoiled half in the recycling bin and throw away the bottom half it makes me sick. Pizza boxes and soiled paper products (if you are still using them) can go right in the green bin along with all your food scraps, leaves form your yard, and even the leftover turkey carcass after Thanksgiving. It is easy and there is just no excuse not to take advantage of this one.
Eco-Table: NO disposable products. EVER
Happy Thanksgiving this week! I hope you all have a great holiday! We are in town so feel free to get in touch with us if you decide to go out and look at houses instead of seeing New Moon or the Blindside:)
