How to Make Your Thanksgiving Dinner More Eco-Friendly?
Thanksgiving is a beautiful event that lets you come closer to your family and close friends. You get to cherish the beautiful moments of life with your loved ones and enjoy good food. Now, look at the other side of the picture - the statistics. Research done by Carnegie Mellon University shows a disturbing amount of CO2 being released into the environment due to Thanksgiving celebrations.
The question is not who is responsible for all this, but what we can do to play our part in reducing the carbon footprint to a bearable level? Well, we can do a lot in that regard. Sustainably planning the whole event would be the best thing to do. We shall give you complete guidance on how to throw a Thanksgiving dinner without damaging the ecosystem.
Know Your Responsibility
You must realize your importance on Earth and know what impact your actions will have on the planet sooner or later. The world has already seen so much damage that it cannot bear more. Food waste and the use of plastic in our day-to-day lives is something we all are doing. That is why before anything else, sit back and notice what you are doing while celebrating. If there’s anything that needs to be changed, change it now.
Plan Outdoors
Outdoor dining helps a lot with sustainability. There will be less food waste, and you will use very little energy compared to indoor dining. You will also be able to use nature as decor, and it will add life to your ‘green’ event. Bring palm leaves, pine branches, and different flowers onto your Thanksgiving tables to add that fragrant beauty to them.
Switch to Compostable Dinnerware
Sustainability and plastic cannot go side by side. You have got to choose one - we choose sustainability. That is why our eco-friendly serving ware is made from compostable material to make your party tables sustainable. Our disposable eco-friendly palm leaf trays and palm leaf serving bowls are available in different shapes and designs that allow you to pick your favorite ones. The compostable serving ware has made serving right with its oh-so-perfect texture and gorgeous design.
Manage the Disposal Properly
It is important to make a proper plan for dinnerware disposable at your events. Our eco-friendly serving ware has made that a lot easier for you. Now, all you have to do is throw them dirty dishes away, and they will degrade within 90 days. You can store the decoration items to use at any upcoming event rather than throwing them away.
Reduce Food Waste
Food waste is yet another problem that stands in the way of throwing a sustainable Thanksgiving dinner. Only cook enough food which can be consumed by your family easily. In case you have leftover food, you can share it with the needy or give it to your pets.
Urge More People to Join In
Set the trend of sustainable events and ask more people to join you in this. Use your social media accounts and urge people to be more eco-conscious.
