Pass (On) the Turkey

If you think that Thanksgiving without turkey is like Thanksgiving without football, consider this: Over 900,000 barrels of oil are needed to deliver, thaw, bake and baste those fat dinnertime birds. So, going vegetarian (or even vegan) for Thanksgiving is great for the environment. And it’s easier to do than you think. Just visit In a Vegetarian Kitchen for a list of great ideas for a meatless Thursday. Or head on over to The Veggie Table to browse their vegetarian Thanksgiving menu. If you’re not ready to sacrifice some traditions, at least think of skipping meat once this week.
