All of these are great ideas to make your Thanksgiving celebrations greener! Another way to reduce your holiday gathering's environmental impact is to offset the carbon emissions it produces. This year, New Generation Energy is offering the chance to offset your Thanksgiving's carbon "wing"print by donating to a variety of green projects at non-profits across the country. These projects include installing solar panels at a soup kitchen in Massachusetts, weatherizing a senior center in Minnesota, and completing a lighting efficiency upgrade at a social services center in Washington, DC! For more information or to offset your celebrations, visit http://newgenerationenergy.org/donate/468.

Or one could use all of the dishes and tables and napkins they already own and shop for quality local produce and meats.

This is a horribly consumerish and ungreen piece overall. Consumerism is not green no matter how one consumes.
