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!
