Thanksgiving Survival Guide

Here are some tips for a peaceful Thanksgiving:
- Bring your own tofurkey to ruffle their feathers. If you don’t have a tofurkey to pass around – don’t sweat it – the best food at Thanksgiving is the sides anyway (sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie and rolls)
- Bring a compact fluorescent light bulb to give your host instead of wine or flowers.
- Don’t hide behind the mashed potatoes when asked about your thoughts on global warming. People ask because they want to learn. Share what you know and give others the chance to be informed about the truth.
- As you sit down to eat -- remind grandma that the rolls still in the oven.
- If there is a lull in the dinner chatter, share a story about your environmental activism. For example, the day you dressed up as a blue whale and walked around the city.
- If you can, ride your bike home from Thanksgiving dinner – you’ll save on carbon miles and burn some calories too.
- Avoid the Black Friday Mania! Skip the long lines and avoid all those bargain shoppers who are sure to knock you over for the latest gadget.
- Get outside! Breathe in some fresh air, listen to the birds sing and enjoy the beautiful autumn leaves. Give thanks for what truly is important in life.
