Green Thanksgiving

See how many local foods you can serve your family and friends this thanksgiving. 

 

Here in Kentucky you will find local turkey, sweet potatoes, peppers, beets, yellow potatoes, squash, greens, lettuces, cheeses, black walnuts, breads, honey, milk, butter and pumpkin for pie. There are also canned and frozen local foods like corn, tomatoes, peppers, green beans and pesto that are in our freezer. 

Use real dishes and cloth napkins instead of disposable for this special meal. 

Eat at home and invite neighbors to join you instead of traveling to conserve fuel. 

Compost the food waste or give it to someone who has chickens!

Give thanks for the earth in your prayer.

Take a walk or play a game instead of watching one on tv.

Take a sabbath on one of the days that you have off.
