If you haven’t already heard, Green Travel Hub hosts a chat event every Wednesday at 2pm EST. called “Green Chat”. It is hosted on Twitter, and we follow the hash tag: #greenchat. The best way to follow our green chat is by becoming a member of our Twub, which is basically an application that organizes hash tag conversations for you. We actually won’t be having a green chat this week because of the Thanksgiving hoilday, but we will be back next week! Last week, we discussed how to make your Thanksgiving holiday more green. Here are some of the tips that came from the chat.
- Travel by car this week if you are traveling less than 300 miles. Rent a hybrid car if you want to make your travel extra GREEN.
- Get your car tuned up and check fluids and tire pressure before driving to save fuel.
- Car pool to dinner with other family members.
- Car pool with friend and family on Black Friday to get good deals. It always helps to be in a group, because you can spread out and grab all of the good deals.
- Choose an eco-friendly airline like Jet Blue or Southwest Airlines.
- Don’t deep fry your turkey. You’ll pollute the air and many people don’t dispose of the oil grease properly.
- Avoid using plastic/paper eating utensils and plates on Thanksgiving.
- Support your local fruit and vegetable farmers and buy fresh produce from a farmer’s market.
- Use recycled aluminum foil to wrap your turkey.
- Use organic spices for cooking
There are so many ways to make your Thanksgiving more environmentally friendly, and the best way is to be the least wasteful as possible. Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on all of the blessings in our life, and one of those blessings is a beautiful planet to live on. Let’s all be mindful of that this holiday! From all of us at RezHub.com, have a happy and safe Thanksgiving. Drive safe on the roads this weekend!
