Thanksgiving Tips

From our friends at B.A.B.E; ways to save money, your mind and earth's resources.  Read on:





Throwing a big dinner party for Thanksgiving is a perfect time to show how you can be the ultimate hostess. Let us show you how you can  also be healthy, save money & consider the environment. Ready?  Here we go! >>




Health:  Vow to stay positive. Do accept help. Offer healthy food options.  Don't overdo the alcohol.  Remember what you're thankful for - and verbalize it.


Money:  Stick to your budget.  Don't over-buy food - no one will go hungry.  Don't over-do the extras; this is family, not the president.  They are here for you.  Take a few bucks and give to your local food pantry.


Environment:  Buy or make cloth napkins.  No waste & you'll have them for years.  Consider organic fruits and veggies.  Check your local farm for a free range/ cage free/ organic) turkey - this means the poor guy wasn't confined to a pen with a trillion other turkeys his whole life.  Recycle all your cans, jugs and bottles. 


Pick a few, pick them all...you'll be a B.A.B.E and EcoChic(k) either way!
