Thanksgiving is going to be different for a lot of families this year. Many you aren’t traveling to see family, perhaps it’s a Zoom Thanksgiving, or maybe it will be outdoors.
But whatever your Thanksgiving looks like we wanted to provide a few tips to help you make it more sustainable. So here we go!
One of the keys to being more sustainable is consuming less.
Easier said than done, since most marketing out there is aimed at getting us to buy more stuff. It’s hard to ignore, but we can set ourselves up for success by building it into our lifestyle.
Let’s just rip the bandaid off this one: NOPE!.
We need to look at how we consume as much as how we dispose of clothing.
We want to close the loop and send them to be recycled into a useful product that gives it a new life, and keeps it out of the landfill.
Our socks average $12 per pair. Sure there are socks that cost less, there are socks that cost more too.
So, what do you get for $12 per pair?
Summer is a time of fun in the sun and gathering with family and friends - with proper social distancing and adhering to state mandates, of course.
We know this summer will be different since many of our usual activities won’t be happening. But we want to make the most of it by spending time outside, having small gatherings when we can and trying new things, like maybe camping.
In the spirit of trying new things we’ve created a list of summer sustainable tips for you.
‘Wait, don’t I need harsh chemicals to kill germs and clean up greasy messes,’ said probably everyone.
That’s certainly what we thought. Growing up we remember the smells of fake pine and bleach as clean. But that’s not how it has to be.
Are you cooking at home more? We certainly are. It’s great to cook healthy food (or not, I love to bake) at home.
But do you get the most out of your food? What do I mean by that? Well, sometimes there’s a by-product of your cooking - scraps, grease, bones, etc. - that just goes in the trash (or compost) but you can still use some of it.
As we struggle to adjust to the current state of the world during the pandemic, most of us are looking for a little distraction.
