Original Thanksgiving Meal Eco-Conscious Thanksgiving Dinner – What to Look Out For

Original Thanksgiving Meal Have an Eco-Conscious Thanksgiving Dinner What to Look Out For this holiday, and as most of us would honestly consider that first dinner environmentally friendly at all levels, as the Indians and Pilgrims did things that were eco-friendly by nature and out of necessity. They didn’t have all the modern wonders we have today, such as cars, planes or ovens, nor did they have all the negative by-products of our technological wonders either like pollution, smog, toxic waste, or greenhouse gases. If you want to be conscious of the environment this year for this holiday, there are some things that you will need to look out for and be aware of. Here are some tips to help you to have a more natural and environmentally friendly Thanksgiving this year.

Fallen Leaves How to Deal with Fallen Leaves The Green Way

Fallen leaves Now what do you do with them?

Fallen leaves are here, and the conventional way of getting rid of fall leaves is to rake or blow them into piles, then burn the piles or pack them into plastic bags for trash collection, or place them on the side of the road in some locations. But there are much greener ways to deal with these autumn visitors.

Burning pollutes the air and is dangerous (it’s also banned in some areas). Leaf blowers use fossil fuels and produce emissions. And leaf blowers are extremely loud and are considered by some to contribute to noise pollution as well. They are highly biodegradable and surrounding them with non-biodegradable plastic makes little sense. So here are some alternatives.

Green Ways to Deal With Fallen Leaves

1. Compost

You can add those that have been raked to your existing compost pile. They will break down and make rich compost. You can also compost them alone, creating a rich compost called leaf mold. Leaf mold can be used as fertilizer like regular compost. Continue Reading Fallen Leaves How to Deal with Fallen Leaves The Green Way Here

Therapy can help for those with Eco Anxiety!

Eco therapy is an application of eco-psychology. It is geared toward helping people learn to cope by forging a connection with nature. Specifically, eco-therapy addresses clients’ anxieties and fears about the environment (eco-anxiety). People who practice eco-therapy are called eco-therapists, although some conventional therapists integrate eco-therapy into their practices.

Eco-anxiety is a relatively new psychological problem. It has been conjectured that it may be a new manifestation of an older problem, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Those who suffer from it become unhealthily obsessed with environmental concerns, and symptoms can mimic OCD. Continue Reading Eco Therapy What Is It and How Does It Work? Here
