Green Thanksgiving

In honor of Thanksgiving, here are some ways to have an environmentally-friendly holiday courtesy of the Indiana Department of Environmental Management and the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette:

- Avoid disposable utensils, plates, and napkins

- Use reusable or paper grocery bags

- Recycle aluminum, glass, and plastic

- Wash a full load of dishes without pre-washing

- Conserve energy by powering down electronics when not using them and turning off lights when leaving the room
